India: Member of the Meghalaya Legislative Assembly Ardent Miller Basaiawmoit has called on the government to cancel an upcoming public hearing over Shree Cement's planned cement plant in the state’s East Jaintia Hills district and thereby halt the project. In addition to this, Basaiawmoit recommended that the Meghalaya government cancel all other new cement and coking plant projects in the East Jaintia Hills.

Basaiawmoit said that parts of the district around Sutunga will become uninhabitable ‘within few years’ given the rate of on-going environmental degradation due to the development of the cement industry.
