Shillong: Meghalaya lawmakers return to the Rilbong venue this Monday for a five-day Autumn Session. The assembly remains at the old site instead of moving to the new building at New Shillong Township. The schedule runs through August 28, split between three days for government business and two for private members.
Violence from the August 19 KSU rally will headline the agenda. The Opposition plans to hammer the MDA government on public safety, policing failures, and the handling of local protests. Tension in Shillong and friction with Assam add heat to the debate. Lawmakers will demand answers on broad order issues.
The Voice of the People Party intends to push its 10-point charter of demands. They are focusing on the plight of border residents and farming communities. The party will also question the government on the "delay in the implementation of the Inner Line Permit (ILP) and the Meghalaya Residents Safety and Security Act (MRSSA)" alongside FCRA concerns.
Uranium mining takes center stage Tuesday as the state tables a resolution to oppose the practice. Lawmakers will also scrutinize the proposed Shree Cement public hearing and its consultation process. Meanwhile, the Trinamool Congress meets Monday to finalize its strike strategy. The session will conclude with the tabling and passing of various new Bills covering political and economic matters.
