Opposition Voice of the People Party (VPP) legislator from Nongkrem Ardent Miller Basaiawmoit on Friday sought action against extortion of different forms which have led to price rise of essential commodities in the state.
Basaiawmoit said there is a violation of the Act but the government is in a denial mode that people, who are not covered under the Land Transfer Act are rampantly buying land in Ri Bhoi district.
Moving a short duration discussion on the issue in the Assembly, VPP legislator from Nongkrem Ardent Miller Basaiawmoit alleged favouritism in the decision to appoint Ali as secretary of the MSCTE since she had once forgone her promotion to the challenging post of principal Shillong Polytechnic.
