SHILLONG, DEC 10: Residents of the Shilliang Um area in South West Khasi Hills District have requested the Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma to establish a new Administrative Block in the Mawsaw region, citing difficulties in accessing essential administrative services due to the distance from the existing Block headquarters.
In a letter to the Chief Minister on Tuesday, the residents highlighted the demographic details of the region, including a population of 35,604 spread across 118 villages in 10 GS Circles.
They pointed out that the lack of an Administrative Block in the region has constrained timely delivery of government welfare schemes, development initiatives, education-related services, health assistance, revenue matters, and emergency support.
“The establishment of a new Administrative Block in the Mawsaw region would bring significant and lasting benefits, including improved access to public services for thousands of rural citizens, faster and more efficient implementation of government schemes and development programmes, strengthened educational and healthcare opportunities, reduced travel time and financial burden for the people, and accelerated and inclusive socio-economic development across the region,” the letter stated.
The residents have also informed the Chief Minister that around seven landowners have voluntarily expressed their willingness to donate land for the establishment of the Administrative Block. They have urged the government to intervene and create the proposed Mawsaw Administrative Block at the earliest.
“We firmly believe that this restructuring will ensure balanced growth and growth for all communities within the district,” the letter added.
