People of Tura are electing not just an MLA but CM of Meghalaya," CM Conrad Sangma said
Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma, addressing an election meeting on Sunday at Thakurbari under the South Tura Constituency in West Garo Hills, said the NPP-led government has been proactive and worked overtime to ensure peace prevails in the state.
“Many might have thought that the State is prone to insurgency and will remain the same, however, we were committed to ensure that peace and tranquility prevails in the State. Our intelligence is always on alert to extortion and other anti-social activities, and we have been able to bust such cases to ensure that such activities do not occur,” Conrad Sangma said.
Meanwhile, referring to the pressure groups that sponsor violence in Shillong, the NPP chief said people fear walking in the streets of Shillong after certain instances.
“There are many instances of law and order problems, but it doesn’t mean that the Government has been silent. Our police have worked overtime to overcome the situation to ensure that peace could be restored during such a situation,” he assured.
Sangma, talking about his government’s vision to have Meghalaya among the top 10 states in the country, said, “Many ridiculed our vision. We have endured that we have made Meghalaya proud in various sectors.”
He highlighted that Meghalaya was ranked best in start-up ecosystem in the country, improved its rank from 27 to 2nd today in immunization, and through the JJM scheme, it connected 2.5 lakh plus households with water pipe connections, up from 4000 in 2018.
Talking about the development in his constituency of South Tura in 5 years, he said “People’s expectations in Tura have raised, people of Tura were deprived for years, but today we have managed to ensure that people’s aspirations were fulfilled. We have managed to ensure visible development in Tura through the Smart Town project, Town Beautification,” he said.
“My promise to the citizens of Tura is that we will work to further the lives of our people. People of Tura are electing not just an MLA but CM of Meghalaya,” he announced.
He further said the NPP is forming the government with an absolute majority, and people should not miss this opportunity.
