Shillong, April 1: The state government is yet to decide on ceasefire with HNLC as the talks with the outfit are at a preparatory stage.
To a question on the ceasefire, chief minister Conrad Sangma said, “It is a process, it is difficult to say right now so the process will continue. We hope that we are able to move things at a faster pace so that is what our objective is right now”.
The chief minister chaired a meeting on Friday to discuss the peace talks with the HNLC.
The meeting held with the government interlocutor Peter S Dkhar was attended by the Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong, Home Minister Lahkmen Rymbui, Chief Secretary RV Suchiang and other officials.
