President’s rule likely

NEW DELHI, Mar 18 : Meghalaya appears to be heading for a spell of President’s rule as Governor R.S. Mooshahary on Tuesday sent a report to the Centre on the fragile political situation in the State.

Highly placed government sources said the Governor’s report mainly focussed on the trust vote in the Assembly held earlier in the day in which the Nationalist Congress Party-led Meghalaya Progressive Alliance managed to survive. The Governor’s report is likely to be placed before the Union Cabinet for consideration.
