Conrad Sangma to camp in New Delhi to seek Amit Shah’s appointment on Meghalaya’s ILP demand

Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma is going to New Delhi next week to seek an appointment with Union Home Minister, Amit Shah to find ways to implement ILP in the state.

Under pressure from the Confederation of Meghalaya Social Organisation (COMSO), Sangma has no option but to knock New Delhi’s door to consider bringing Meghalaya under the ILP regime.

The Meghalaya Legislative Assembly on December 19 had passed the resolution to implement ILP in the state.

During the last few decades, pressure groups, mostly students’ unions and youth organizations, have been demanding for ILP in Meghalaya to keep “outsiders” at bay.

After the resolution by the assembly, the Meghalaya government urged New Delhi to implement ILP under the Eastern Bengal Frontier Regulation, 1873, in the state.
