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.
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.
Replying to a query raised by AITC MLA from Ampati Miani D Shira in the Assembly, Minister in-charge Social Welfare Paul Lyngdoh said, "We have already moved the Ministry of Women and Child Development for total coverage of uncovered villages."
