Meghalaya Residents allege construction firm running stone quarry illegally

Guwahati-based Midas Constructions has been accused of running a newly set-up crusher in the village of Rongsak under Samanda C&RD Block in East Garo Hills (EGH) despite not having the permissions for the operation of a stone quarry in the area.

The matter was brought to light after residents from around the area were informed of the issue.

A visit to the site of the stone crusher showed that stone chips were being crushed by the machines set up in the area though there was no manager at the site. When the manager was contacted on the permissions that they had obtained they sought time to provide the information.
