Shillong, Aug 25: The regional committees of both Assam and Meghalaya will be meeting in Shillong on August 28.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, Chairman of the Regional Committee for West Khasi Hills Paul Lyngdoh said that the chairman in-charge of Kamrup district sector Chandra Mohan Patowary is visiting Shillong on Monday along with his team of officials from the government of Assam.
“We expect this meeting to be fruitful and to also steer us closer to the resolution of the problems within that sector,” he said.
“As per the discussions that we have had last in Guwahati, this would be the second meeting which will pave the way for the final meeting which will be an onsite inspection in few villages within the Langpih sector of West Khasi Hills”, Paul said.
He hoped that by November, the committee would be able to submit the report.
According to Paul, there are over 200 villages under Langpih sector but the problem areas are roughly 54. “In a few cases, at least 7-8 such villages have also expressed their willingness to be with Assam but majority of these 54 villages would like to stay with Meghalaya,” he said.
