The Meghalaya government has handed over its relocation plan to the Harijan Panchayat Committee (HPC) representing the Mazhabi Sikhs and other Dalit residents of State capital Shillong’s Harijan Colony or Punjabi Lane.
The plan comprises the blueprint with details for the relocation of 342 families from Harijan Colony – in the middle of Iewduw, the largest commercial market in Meghalaya – to the quarters of the Shillong Municipal Board on the Bishop Cotton Road nearby.
