Meghalaya Authorities Reopen Shillong Peak Ropeway Site After KHADC Closure
Meghalaya Police, supported by magistrates, reopened the Shillong Peak Ropeway project's lower terminal site on November 4 by removing locks placed by the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) on October 27. The KHADC had sealed the site over allegations that the executing company lacked a mandatory trading licence under a 1954 regulation. Despite directives from the state Tourism Department to lift the closure, the council did not comply, prompting police intervention. The incident highlights a regulatory dispute between the state government and the autonomous district council.
