SHILLONG: It has been more than a year since the peace settlement between the ANVC, ANVC-B, Centre and the State Government but the ANVC-B cadres are yet to receive their rehabilitation package.
The leader of the disbanded ANVC-B, Torik Marak, said that the outfit members are yet to receive any response either from the chief minister or the home minister.
“The State Government is not respecting its commitment,” he said while claiming that it was the State Government which was causing the delay in releasing the rehabilitation package.
According to Marak, even the state level committee on the issue has not been formed and the outfit members would soon approach the Centre on the matter.
The ANVC and the ANVC (B) were disbanded in Tura in December 2014 following the signing of a memorandum of settlement with the Centre and the Meghalaya government.
During the disbanding ceremony, 748 cadres (447 from the ANVC and 301 from the ANVC-B) were present.
