Meghalaya tightens building laws after quakes [1]

With frequent earthquakes rocking the Northeast, including Meghalaya, the Urban Affairs Department has reconstituted a technical committee to review and grant permission for construction of buildings and structures according to Meghalaya Urban Development Authority (MUDA) bylaws. The technical committee has also been authorised to dismantle all structures that do not conform to these bylaws.
