Shillong, June 28: The Khasi Students’ Union (KSU) on Wednesday questioned the failure of the state government to implement the Meghalaya Residents Safety and Security Act, 2016 (MRSSA) which seeks to check unabated influx into the state.
“We don’t know what happened to the MRSSA,” KSU chief Lambokstarwell Marngar told reporters.
He said the state government had assured setting up of an entry point at Umling in Ri Bhoi District to check illegal influx entering the state but ironically “the said entry point is now being turned into a Covid testing centre”.
Stating that everyday illegal influx is happening into the state of Meghalaya, Marngar said, “It is high time that the government of Meghalaya wakes up from its slumber and take action.”
He also warned, “If the state government fails to put in place effective anti-influx mechanisms, it should not blame the NGOs for taking the law into their own hands.”
The KSU chief also asked both the State and Central governments to make their stands clear whether it is a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to the demand for implementation of ILP.
On the border issue, the KSU chief said the state government has now decided to include all the three district councils in the regional committees constituted to find a solution in resolving the six remaining areas of difference. “However, we want the government to ensure that the border solution should be acceptable to the people living in the border and it should not bring tears to their eyes,” he added.
