SHILLONG: Lamenting the delay in initiating the implementation of the Agreed Text of Settlement (ATS), the former ANVC-B has demanded the state government to hold a state-level review meeting on the matter.
The general secretary of the former ANVC-B, Deepan G Momin, alleged that the Meghalaya Government has completely ignored the agreement of the ANVC groups.
“Six years since the agreement, but state government has not cleared the rehabilitation packages and the ATS has not been implemented,” he said, while adding that the Boro Accord has marched forward with the initiation of the BJP government in Assam but Garo agreement has made little headway and delayed by the negligence of the NPP-led government in Meghalaya.
“We want the government to hold an immediate meeting to review the implementation of the Agreed Text of Settlement as it has cheated us in last six years,” he said.
The Agreed Text for Settlement was signed by the Centre, state government, ANVC and ANVC-B in Delhi on September 24, 2014.
The features of the agreed text included transferring of as many as 13 subjects, including minor works of agriculture, sericulture and weaving, animal husbandry, fishers and minor irrigation, among others to the GHADC.
The text also pointed out the need to strengthen the existing health, road and communication infrastructure to uplift the Garo Hills region.
