Maweit, November 12, 2026: Meghalaya Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Minister Methodius Dkhar inspected several roads in the Maweit area on Thursday to review preparations for the upcoming Catholic procession.
Accompanied by PWD officials, Catholic Church leaders and other representatives, the Minister, who is also the local MLA, assessed the progress of road construction and blacktopping works along the procession routes to ensure smooth movement for devotees.

He further stated that the road works were not intended to benefit any political organisation but to address the needs of the local community.
