SHILLONG: The ANVC, currently under ceasefire since July 2004. has expressed concern over delay on the part of the Government to release the monthly stipend of Rs 3,000 each, which has been pending since March this year. “It is almost eight months now that our cadres are without stipend which made the lives of our cadres miserable,” the ANVC publicity secretary Arist Sangma said on Thursday while urging Government to release the same at the earliest.
