Govt mulls talks with HNLC

SHILLONG, Feb 26: The state government is exploring the feasibility of holding dialogues with the proscribed Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) to usher lasting peace in the state, Home Minister Lahkmen Rymbui said on Friday.
Without elaborating further, he said that the government will do whatever it can to solve this issue once and for all.
The HNLC has been reiterating their willingness to sit for peace talks and the state government has reciprocated by asking the HNLC to stop their illegal activities but the ice between the militant group and the government is yet to be broken.
