Shillong: The Federation of Khasi Jaintia and Garo People wants Chief Minister Conrad Sangma to nix the dual-charge appointment of Elangki Shullai. Shullai currently serves as District Urban Planner in Tura while keeping his post in Shillong. The group argues the hundreds of miles between the stations will tank department efficiency and bury the officer in work. Local residents face massive delays for water, electricity, and building permits. The group stated that a dedicated posting is essential to clear the backlog and ensure timely public service delivery.
