SHILLONG, JAN 15: Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Thursday announced that the government is ready to discuss the expert committee report on the state reservation policy, which is expected to be presented in the upcoming Assembly session.
“We will be able to announce when (we will release it) and the Assembly session too will be starting very soon. During the Assembly session, I am sure we will be able to present everything directly in the Assembly,” he told reporters.
Sangma explained that the delay in releasing the report was due to its complexity and length, requiring thorough review. “It was a large report – thousands and thousands of pages were there… every word is important in it, so it is not possible for us to just give a gist of things,” he added.
The Chief Minister assured that the cabinet will discuss the report soon, likely in the next meeting.
“We are having a cabinet tomorrow morning and most likely we will be able to discuss this… So, within a week or ten days time we will be able to announce,” Sangma said.
