Instead, the government aims to seek a consensus among stakeholders and find a way to progress with the railway project in the Khasi Hills region.<\/p>\n<p>However, Sangma acknowledged the need for a realistic assessment of the situation. Should the project in the Khasi Hills region face insurmountable roadblocks, the government is prepared to consider redirecting the allocated funds to other regions within the state.
