ANVC-B wants Centre to address plight of cadres

SHILLONG: The ANVC-B cadres who had signed the final peace pact have sought the Central government’s intervention into the rehabilitation issue of the outfit’s cadres.
ANVC-B chief Bernard Marak said that the State government was ignoring them even as he recalled that the government was supposed to take full responsibility for rehabilitation of the former cadres of the now disbanded outfit. “Our members after disbanding are struggling to knock every door to get support but each time we are greeted with disappointment,” he said.
The group also alleged that they were yet to get any response from the government as prayers for an appointment with the chief minister have gone unheeded. He also alleged that their letters were not being answered by the government.
Stressing that Central level review monitoring was must, Marak said that the signed agreement must send positive message to other groups operating in the State.
