The Meghalaya Assemblys Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has pulled up the state's SPV committee for its failure to implement Rs 200 crore funded by cement giant Lafarge for socio-economic development of the areas falling close to its mining site at Nongtrai-Shella in East Khasi Hills District.
The Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) Committee headed by the states chief secretary was constituted as per the ruling of the Supreme Court for implementing various developmental schemes in these areas.
At present, the Lafarge Umiam Mining Pvt Ltd is exporting 2 million tonnes of limestone to its cement factory at Chattak in Bangladesh through a 17 km-long cross-border conveyor belt.
Around 53 villages fall under the two constituencies
