NESO shocked at firing incident along Assam-Meghalaya border

STAFF REPORTER

GUWAHATI: NESO (North East Students' Organization) expressed deep concern over the killing of people in police firing along the Assam-Meghalaya border today.

NESO chairman Samuel B Jyrwa said, "The clashes that erupted on the border of the two states sent shockwaves throughout the region. The feeble situation along the Assam-Meghalaya border is a reminder of how vulnerable the security of border residents can be when such conflicts arise. Understandably, border disputes vary and differ from area to area. However, NESO once again strongly urge all state governments to be committed to solving these long-pending problems once and for all, and if necessary, the Central Government should be a party in this dialogue."

NESO also likes to call upon all indigenous people that it is not an ethnic issue, but of border disputes, in which the respective state governments are duty-bound to solve."

NESO is an umbrella students' body comprising the Khasi Students' Union, All Assam Students' Union, All Manipur Students' Union, All Arunachal Pradesh Students' Union, Naga Students' Federation, Mizo Zirlai Pawl, Twipra Students' Federation and the Garo Students' Union.
