SHILLONG, May 8: Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma on Monday said the peace negotiation with the proscribed Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) is on track and a positive outcome is expected in the coming days.
He said that informal discussions are on since there are several factors that need to be considered.
“I would not be able to share the details right now. But I can say that a lot of positive development has taken place in the last few days,” he said.
Earlier, HNLC’s interlocutor for peace talks, Sadon K. Blah said that the peace talks cannot be rushed since it has been a struggle for almost 40 years.
“The delay in starting the peace talks is due to some issues regarding the technicalities,” Blah said.
The HNLC representative said that the agenda of peace will be put forward once the talks begin. He also added that both the Centre and state government are eager for the talks to begin.
