Stir against uranium mining suspended

SHILLONG: The Khasi Students Union (KSU) on Wednesday suspended its agitation against the proposed uranium mining project after the Meghalaya government invited it for talks.

Chief Minister D.D. Lapang said on Tuesday night that the State government would hold discussions with the union if it called off the agitation.

The group had called another round of night road blockades from October 29, sources said.

The government has offered to talk to the groups opposing the project on November 3.
