SHILLONG, May 9: The state government has warned that if political parties remain unresponsive to its efforts to address the sensitive issue of railways, the state will continue to be in limbo.
Reacting to the VPP and Congress decisions to stay away from the all-party committee on railways, Cabinet Minister Paul Lyngdoh on Friday said the committee would be the best platform to hear all views, counter views, and neutral views.
The opposition VPP was the first to opt out of the all-party committee on railways, followed by the Congress. The UDP party has scheduled a meeting where the issue will come up for deliberation.
The committee, headed by Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma, is tasked with examining the feasibility of introducing railway services, conducting a cost-benefit analysis, consulting stakeholders, and submitting recommendations to the state government.
