Shillong, July 25: The joint inspection between the regional committees of Assam and Meghalaya to the remaining six areas of difference may be delayed due to the upcoming Assembly polls in Assam, according to Deputy Chief Minister in-charge Home (Police) Prestone Tynsong.
Speaking to media persons, Tynsong, who is chairman of the regional committee for Ri Bhoi district, said the preparation for the Assembly polls in Assam next year is likely to keep all parties, MLAs, and ministers busy, which may further delay the joint inspection.
He said that the Meghalaya side is waiting for the Assam counterpart to fix a date for the joint inspection, which will be convenient for both parties.
“We have already requested that. Let us see and once we get the indication from their side then we will accordingly fix the date,” Tynsong added.
He also noted that Assam side has three-four chairmen of different locations whereas Meghalaya side has only three chairmen that include deputy chief minister Sniawbhalang Dhar for West Jaintia Hills sector and Paul Lyngdoh for West Khasi Hills sector.
