Shillong: Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Sunday committed to fulfilling Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s dream for the Northeast. Speaking at a public function to commemorate the golden jubilee of the North Eastern Council (NEC) held at Hindi polo ground, Sangma repeatedly assured the PM that his government stands with the Centre for all-round development of the Northeast. Stressing on the need to strengthen the NEC, he said it would be of great help if the Council plays the role of policy and coordinating body.

Sangma suggested setting up of an executive committee under the NEC where chief ministers of northeastern states can be appointed as chairpersons on rotation basis. He said such a committee would try to formulate policies and focus on important areas and issues like tourism, Act East policy, international trade and floods. “We should have a roadmap for what we want to achieve in the next 50 years.
