Tura, Aug 20: The A·chik Conscious Holistically Integrated Krima (ACHIK) has reminded Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma to immediately initiate discussions on the longstanding demand to declare Tura as the state’s winter capital.

In a letter addressed to the Chief Minister, through the Deputy Commissioner of West Garo Hills, ACHIK emphasized that the Chief Minister’s office had previously assured the organization that talks on this matter would commence, but no concrete steps have been taken thus far.

It mentioned that the assurance was made during a meeting held last year at the Chief Minister’s Mini Secretariat in Tura, as well as publicly through various media outlets.

ACHIK stated that the demand to establish Tura as the winter capital of Meghalaya is a longstanding one, and it holds significant importance to the Garo community. The organization believes that designating Tura as the winter capital would not only enhance administrative efficiency but also contribute to more balanced development across the state.

It is to be mentioned that ACHIK had staged a 14-day hunger strike in July 2023 in Tura to press for the demand of winter capital in Tura.
