Shillong: Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Tuesday said it is unwise to jump to conclusions about the alleged irregularities and mismanagement in the Police Headquarters (PHQ).

Emphasizing the need for press fraternity to avoid terms like scam, Sangma stated that one cannot conclude anything without understanding what really took place.

He assured that if suggestions of an inquiry come from the Home Department, then they will go ahead with it.

It looks like there were some irregularities that took place. Some unofficial procurement and mismanagement of vehicles, and use of fuel. But in principle, the procedures appear to be in place, claimed the minister.

Sangma added that it (the Home Department) will go into the details and declare its findings and the government will take action based on its suggestions.

The CM said that the government is not unwilling to take action. We have never shied away from any inquiry or any commissions. We will not shy away from this matter either. We will do what it takes, he added.

When it was pointed out that the police mentioned the word scam in the report, Sangma said that he hasn’t gone through it yet.
