To this, Dhar said the reason why government is not setting up the landfill at Mawkhanu because it has proposed a new land at Nonghali adding the area required for setting up of the landfill site is approximately 100-150 acres.

Further, the deputy chief minister informed that there is no plan to convert the land into a European ward adding that the government is still preparing the master plan.
