Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaJanuary 10, 2025

The state government has decided to empower the executive engineers in the fisheries department with delegation of financial powers.  

After chairing the cabinet meeting at Sohra on Friday, chief minister Conrad K Sangma said that this was not there before which means executive engineers could not carry out works and had to go for approvals all the time.

“Therefore, this is being done as per the provisions in other departments, where executive engineers have certain delegation of financial powers. So what is there in other departments, similar delegation of financial powers have been given to the executive engineers in the fisheries department,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Cabinet has also finalised the list of VIPs, who will be taking the salute during the upcoming Republic Day celebrations across the state.
