“Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma on Monday inaugurated the year-long Golden Jubilee celebration of the Amlarem Civil Sub-Division at Amlarem Playground in West Jaintia Hills, marking fifty years since its establishment in 1976. The event was attended by ministers, MLAs, MDCs, government officials, traditional leaders, students, and residents from across the region. To commemorate the milestone, Sangma unveiled foundation stones for two major projects — a Rs. 3.45 crore Multi-Purpose Hall at Amlarem and another Rs. 74 lakh Multi-Purpose Hall at Amlariang, Nongtalang — aimed at improving community infrastructure.

In his address, the chief minister paid tribute to founding leaders and land donors of the Civil Sub-Division Office and acknowledged the contributions of former and current officers and citizens in driving Amlarem’s progress over the decades. Reaffirming the government’s commitment to decentralised governance, Sangma noted the creation and strengthening of several Civil Sub-Divisions and C&RD Blocks, highlighting that every one of the state’s 46 Block offices now has a new building, with 10 new blocks established with full infrastructure. He announced the sanction of a Mini Secretariat for Amlarem and additional funds for water supply, road construction, and renovation.
