Chief Minister Conrad Sangma informed Meghalaya’s lawmakers that the Residents Safety and Security Act (MRSSA)-2016 has successfully registered 817 primary locales and 427 sub-locales. Momentum builds as the campaign presses on.
Countering opposition queries, he spotlighted the law’s intent: relentless registration and watch over newcomers. ‘I assure this house that inbound monitoring endures,’ Sangma vowed.
From 2018 onwards, facilitation desks and ingress-egress stations dotted the state to operationalize the act. Court rulings scrapping provisions posed formidable obstacles.
The CM detailed the challenge of 7,000+ villages, advocating shared duty. ‘Joint efforts from all quarters are essential,’ he said, enlisting community and administrative support.
Active sites report healthy advancement, paving way for broader phased deployment. MRSSA stands as an indispensable shield for locals against external pressures, reaffirming governance on order and protection.
Sangma’s statement reflects strategic perseverance, turning regulatory twists into opportunities for robust implementation in Meghalaya.
