Power of KAAC not surrendered: Engti

HOWRAGHAT, Dec 27: Regarding the surrendered of autonomy power in the Karbi Anglong autonomous district a chaotic situation is rising in the minds of common people in the hill district since past couple of months. The mouth to mouth spreading news of the ‘surrender of autonomy power’ is basically confusing the hill community Karbi people. Moreover, clarifying the ongoing rumour on ‘surrender of autonomy power’, the Assam Hills Area Minister (HAD), Kharsing Engti on Sunday renounced on the non surrender of autonomy power of the Karbi Anglong autonomous district. Engti while addressing the Congress rally held at Dokmoka Shildharampur clearly said that neither autonomy power is surrendered nor power of KAAC has been seized by the State Government. It is nothing but a false propaganda of the opposition parties. Finding no political issue, the opposition parties are attempting to mislead common Karbi people as well as the non Karbi people of the of the district. Spreading such rumour and baseless issue they (opposition parties) are hopping to get political mileage, the HAD Minister Engti added. On the other hand, speaking on the controversial occurred among the people on the newly issue of land patta in the rural and town areas, Engti clarified that no new land policy has been implemented by the KAAC. Here people have nothing to worry. State Government will never allow KAAC to implement such unfair and anti non Karbi new land policy in the district. Whatever, new land patta issued to the landlords by the KAAC is similar with the other districts of the State and all the adopted land policy is completely implemented as per Assam Land Act, Engti reiterated. Meanwhile, Minister Engti urged the public not to keep confidence on the false fabricated propaganda of the opposition parties. During the meeting some prosthetic materials under Social Welfare Department, piggery under Veterinary and Animal Husbandry Department distributed to several SHGs. Besides, numbers of raincoats under the scheme of MLA LAD were distributed to the farmers. During the Congress workers’ rally, KAAC EMs, comprising Bidyasing Rongpi, Premala Beypi, Sing Teron and former MLA Babu Rongpi also attended and addressed the rally. THE SENTINEL
