Meghalaya CM lauds govt officers for higher revenue collection; wants upward trend to continue

Meghalaya chief minister Conrad Sangma said the revenue collection figures for the past year have gone up considerably.

“I’ve observed that revenue collection figures for the past year have gone up from Rs500 cr to Rs878 cr,” CM Sangma said adding, “I’m sure that we’ll be able to achieve much more in this financial year. If all of us put our heads together and work jointly we’ll see a huge jump in the revenue collection.”
