SHILLONG: The Hill State People’s Democratic Party (HSPDP) has called on the Meghalaya government to expedite the resolution of the long-pending boundary dispute with Assam, insisting it must be settled before the next Assembly elections.
The demand was reiterated during a general meeting to review party activities and discuss key issues.
HSPDP president K.P. Pangniang said the party remains committed to its regional identity and founding vision, including official status for Khasi and Garo languages and implementation of the Inner Line Permit (ILP).
He acknowledged that while the party’s participation in government has helped advance some goals, several demands remain unmet.
Pangniang attributed previous delays in the boundary talks to elections in Assam, Lok Sabha polls, and the resignation of Metbah Lyngdoh as Regional Committee Chairman.
He urged the government to avoid further delays and fulfill its commitment to settle the dispute.
Despite occasional setbacks, Pangniang expressed confidence in the HSPDP’s organizational strength and reiterated the party’s resolve to press for its core demands.
