Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Tuesday said the government is very close to finding a solution in regards to the long pending issue of relocating the 342 families from Them Iew Mawlong.
Speaking to reporters, Sangma said, “We are very close to finding a solution and we will finally be able to take the last bit of actions that are left to be taken and resolve this at the earliest.”
“We are almost at the point where we are close to resolution and the citizens must appreciate that and I am sure most appreciate it but let me assure the citizens also that we are on this,” he added.
His statement came two days after the incident of IED explosion at Them Iew Mawlong and the allegation that the area has become an eyesore to the people of the state.
Sangma said that the people and the state will appreciate that for the first time actually there has been a serious move by any government to relocate the residents from the area.
“When we are trying to address a complex situation like this, there are complexities that we come up with. Therefore obviously, we would want things to happen in the next 24 hours but there is a reason why it has not happened during the last 50 years because of the different complications that were there and you must appreciate the kind of efforts and the work that is going on to resolve this in the most amicable manner,” he said.
Stating that there are many factors affecting the issue, the CM said, “It is easy for anybody to say solve it today, solve it tomorrow or day after but you need to look back at the history and realise that this is a very complicated problem and situation with many different angles to it, many legal issues around it and we have to work around all these issues taking into account all the sentiments and everything and come up with a solution that is going to be the most appropriate and most acceptable and most amicable in nature and hence, it does require time.”
“Therefore, inspite of all the efforts that we put in, we need to realise that these kinds of situations will require time to resolve,” he added.
