"We are in the process of searching members who are willing to head or be members of such a committee. The process has started and we need to give the search committee its own time so that we do things in the correct way and correct manner," Lyngdoh told reporters.
Further, the minister informed that the food safety inspectors have also been asked to find out how many days it takes for imported fish to reach the state.
The minister also informed that the Cabinet has also approved the proposal for enhancement of the financial powers to the DGP, IGP, DIGP, SP under Schedule IV of the Meghalaya Delegation of Financial Powers Rule, 2006.
“We will be very happy if we can manage to dictate (to the NPP to sever its ties with the BJP). Minus the BJP, we are ready to support and work together (with the NPP in the state), there is no doubt about it,” Pala said.
