Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaMarch 15, 2022

Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Tuesday assured to talk to the defense authorities to ensure inconveniences to the people are minimized.

“Definitely, I will take up this issue and I will call them and try to resolve as many issues that are there,” Sangma said while replying to a short duration discussion moved by Nongkrem legislator Lambor Malngiang in the Assembly.

Malngiang and other members have expressed concern over the Air Force signboard that ‘trespassers will be shot’.

Sangma also said that he would also call the respective MLAs, which are affected by such actions adding “It may not happen in one go, it may not happen immediately for all the locations but we will try to engage by not just having meetings but even by having confidence building activities, which the army and other armed forces are doing in many locations but maybe we can expand the scale of such activities.”

“We need to communicate and resolve this issue by engaging with the armed forces and ensuring that we find a middle path where we are able to ensure their (defense) safety and security is maintained and at the same time to ensure the inconvenience to the people is minimized,” he said.
