Shillong, Jul 27 : Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma today said creation of new districts in the state are being examined.
''The demand for creation of new districts by different sections, including the demand for North Garo Hills district, are being examined,'' Dr Sangma said after distributing 41 Power tillers to victims of the ethnic clash between Garos and Rabhas at Mendipathar in East Garo Hills district.
The Chief Minister also sought the cooperation and joint efforts of the people required in ensuring a cordial condition for creation of the districts.
Without naming the Garo National Liberation of Army for disrupting peace in Garo Hills region, Dr Sangma said, ''There are many forces which try to dislocate and derail the plans and programmes of the Government but the people should not encourage such kind of activities.'' He, however, said the government was focused in addressing the issue of making our youth employable.
''We must try to adopt a mechanism to bring out professionals,'' Dr Sangma added.
Stressing on maintaining peace for development of the State, Dr Sangma congratulated each and everyone who have been instrumental in restoring peace and harmony in the area including the district administration during the ethnic clash between Garos and Rabhas.
The Chief Minister also expressed his gratefulness to the people, who have been very responsive to his appeal to contribute generously toward the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund for the purpose of providing relief and facilitate peace restoration in the area.
