Centre hasn’t stopped JJM projects in Meghalaya, clarifies minister

Shillong: Meghalaya Public Health Engineering (PHE) minister Renikton Tongkhar on Tuesday clarified that the central government has not stopped the implementation of projects worth Rs 3,000 crore under the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) in the state.

Tongkhar’s response comes after a media report stated that the Centre has stopped projects under JJM in the state.

Expressing his concern over the misleading information, Tongkhar urged all journalists to “write the fact, since people have a lot of expectations from the Press”.
