SHILLONG: The Meghalaya Right to Information Movement (MRTIM) would be holding a public hearing on the RTI findings relating to the activities of the cement plants based in Jaintia Hills district at Don Bosco Youth Centre on Thursday at 11 am.

The public hearing comes at the time when the Government is under serious scanner after the High Level Committee (HLC) in its report revealed that the cement plants in Jaintia Hills are carrying out mining of limestone in ‘thick forest areas’ which is in clear violation of the Forest Conservation Act, 1980.
