On the agenda of the proposal for reconsideration of shifting Sumo parking site to KMC parking site submitted by various institutes at Jotsoma, the house deliberated on the issue and decided to take up the matter after necessary consultation with the responsible authorities.
On registration of societies, Medo Yhokha suggested that DPDB may streamline the verification system by involving responsible departments to look into the matters and give their opinions to the sub-committee of DPDB for verification and then to DPDB for recommendation to the state government.
Meanwhile, advisor for Urban Development and Municipal Affairs, Dr. Neikiesalie Nicky Kire also suggested that the concerned area administrative officers and verifying committee share their opinions on the matters in the DPDB meeting in order to bring up a strong society in the district.
On the agenda, the house after deliberation decided to recommend five societies that presented their aims and objectives to the state government for further necessary action.
