SHILLONG, Apr 21 : Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma today completed two years in office, saying his Government is about “institutionalising development plans through new ideas.”
Sangma said that his Government would release a performance report highlighting its achievements during the past two years. The report would be released on April 25.
“We are embarking upon new ideas of institutionalising development plans, he said adding, the Meghalaya United Alliance Government (MUA) is assessing whether it has been able to keep some of the promises made to the people of the State.
He, however, admitted that there were lacunas in implementing some of the developmental programmes in the State. Although many developmental projects are going on in the State, they are marred by delays.
Sangma said that some projects do face hurdles during implementation due to various factors like the State’s hostile terrain; however, the Government is trying its best to see that the delays are minimised. “Certain deficiencies are there in the system and we are trying to address this issue,” he added.
Touching on the insurgency problem, Sangma said that his Government was trying to address the root cause of the problem rather taking shortcuts to find solutions.
“Addressing the root cause of insurgency is the most important strategy of the Government. “It is not justified for the Garo National Liberation Army to piggy-ride on the issue of a separate State for their criminal activities,” Sangma said.
