The Hill State People’s Democratic Party (HSPDP) on Friday decided to soon submit its suggestions to the state government for reviewing the state reservation policy.

“We have discussed the issue at length and we have decided to submit our suggestions to the government on the state reservation policy with immediate effect,” HSPDP president KP Pangniang told reporters after chairing the CEC meeting of the party here.

He informed that the party needs to get more information on the issue before submitting its suggestions.

Pangniang said the party also expressed its gratitude and appreciation to the government of the day for implementing the roster system prospectively as per suggestion of the party during the all party meeting held on May 29.

“The government had also issued a new office memorandum (OM) on June 14, 2023 that clause d of the OM, 2022 has been amended as per the wish and the suggestion of our party and other parties except the VPP which was not able to participate in the meeting on May 29,” he said.

He said that the government has also amended the OM of 1974  on June 27 by ensuring that candidates from outside the state belonging to the Garo community will no longer be eligible to fill up job vacancies in the state.
