SHILLONG: Almost one and a half year after signing a tripartite agreement with the Central and State governments, the ANVC and its splinter group are yet to receive any confirmation on release of their promised stipend.
ANVC-B leader Rimpu Marak on Wednesday said they were informed that the cadres in the parent outfit have received their stipend whereas members of the splinter outfit (ANVC-B) are yet to receive the benefits so far.
“We have been waiting and repeatedly writing to both the State and Central governments to release our package but to no avail,” he said. Reacting to a query, he said the cadres were earning their daily bread by working in farms and some private positions.
It may be recalled that the ANVC and ANVC-B cadres had been promised a package of Rs.2.5 lakh each after the peace agreement was signed.
