The delay, according to Sangma, arises from Meghalaya’s unique land tenure system, distinct from government-owned land in other regions.
Aligning state procedures with centralized norms for mining land acquisition presented challenges, requiring extensive discussions with the Indian government to devise tailored provisions.
