India: The environmental public hearing for Meghatop Cement's proposed integrated cement plant in Wahiajer village, Elaka Narpuh, was conducted on 18 October 2024, according to The Shillong Times. The plant is planned to have a 3.3Mt/yr clinker capacity and 16MW waste heat recovery system, and has faced a mixed reaction from several community members. Franky Laloo from the Meghalaya Pollution Control Board led the hearing, attended by district officials, villagers and company representatives. Supporters emphasised the potential community benefits of the plant, but the Jaintia Women Council expressed some concerns, saying that “We intended to voice our opposition at the hearing, but were prevented by village volunteers and police. A hearing that only accommodates supporters is unacceptable.”
