Meghalaya : VPP opts out of all-party panel on railways

Shillong, Apr 15 (UNI) The opposition Voice of the People Party (VPP) has refused to be a part of the all-party committee constituted to examine the issue of railway connectivity in Khasi-Jaintia Hills region of Meghalaya.
In a letter addressed to Chief Secretary Donald Philips Wahlang, VPP spokesperson Batskhem Myrboh, acknowledged the government’s efforts in forming the committee but emphasised that addressing concerns about unchecked influx must take precedence over railway discussions.
“The VPP is of the opinion that before any discussion on the introduction of railway lines in Khasi and Jaintia Hills can take place, it is imperative to first address the genuine concerns of the people regarding unchecked influx into the state,” Myrboh said.
