KHADC Halts Shillong Peak Ropeway Project Over Licensing and Clearance Issues
The Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) has halted the Rs 151 crore Shillong Peak Ropeway project due to the executing companies' failure to obtain a mandatory trading licence and necessary clearances, including a No Objection Certificate from local authorities. KHADC issued multiple notices and found construction proceeded without required permissions. The council emphasized enforcing local regulations, while the Tourism department stated it had secured some permissions and a lease agreement. Local opposition over environmental and community concerns continues.
