The Ri-Bhoi unit of the Khasi Students Union today met with the Deputy Commissioner to express concern and condemnation for the Assam government’s interference in Meghalaya development projects along the dispute border between the two states.
On January 6 Assam police seized water pipes belonging to the Meghalaya government in the village of Ummat.
Expressing discontentment over the intrusions of Assam, especially in Raid Nongtung, the pressure group lodged a complaint with the DC and demanded immediate intervention of the state government to resolve the tension that, it said, was created by non-Khasis living along the border areas of Raid Nongtung.
