Meghalaya Assembly to move resolution against uranium mining

Meghalaya's Chief Minister, Conrad K. Sangma, announced plans to introduce a resolution in the state assembly to oppose uranium mining, citing concerns over environmental and community safety. This decision follows pressure from local groups like the Khasi Students' Union (KSU), who interpret recent federal statements as signals of renewed interest in uranium exploration in the region. The KSU has organized annual protests since 2020, inspired by the legacy of Spility Lyngdoh Langrin, a local leader who resisted uranium exploration efforts in the 1990s. Sangma emphasized that the state government would not allow uranium mining to proceed, highlighting the risks associated with such projects. Local activists have also raised concerns about land purchases in uranium-rich areas, suggesting possible collusion between private interests and government-linked individuals.
