SHILLONG: Chief Minister Mukul Sangma on Tuesday said creation of new districts in the State is being examined.
”The demand for creation of new districts by different sections, including the demand for North Garo Hills district, is being examined,” Dr Sangma said after distributing 41 power tillers to victims of the ethnic clash between Garos and Rabhas at Mendipathar in East Garo Hills district.
The Chief Minister also sought the cooperation and joint efforts of the people in ensuring a cordial condition for creation of the districts.
Without naming the Garo National Liberation of Army for disrupting peace in Garo Hills region, Dr Sangma said, ”There are many forces which try to dislocate and derail the plans and programmes of the Government but the people should not encourage such kind of activities.”
He, however, said the government was focused in addressing the issue of making our youth employable. (UNI)
