Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaMarch 14, 2023

Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong on Monday said that Mukroh is well within Meghalaya territory.

Reacting to the statement of Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma that Mukroh is within the boundary of Assam, Tynsong said, “Our stand is very clear that Mukroh is well within Meghalaya. Even till this moment it is under the possession of Meghalaya.”

 “I don’t know why such a statement was made by the Assam CM because now we are in the process of stepping into the second phase of talk. I personally feel he should not say that. It is very unfortunate if he had made the statement inside the House,” he said.

 “But let me tell you one more thing very clearly that Mukroh area falls under Meghalaya,” he added

Asked if a protest letter would be sent to the Assam government, the deputy chief minister said, “Not necessarily because the talk will start again so just wait for that.”

“We have already made it very clear to the people of the state that the second phase of talks will start very soon so will work accordingly,” Tynsong said.
