A Reporter

SHILLONG: Amita Sangma and Agnes Kharshiing have reiterated their demand that the state government led by the National People’s Party (NPP) should call for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) concerning the brutal assault on the two social activists at Sohshrieh in East Jaintia Hills district last month.

Speaking to The Sentinel, Amita said, “I was able to meet with Agnes after she was discharged from the hospital and we have decided to move forward with our demand for a CBI inquiry.”

She also said that the state government should open their eyes and should stop the bluff that there is no illegal mining of coal in Jaintia hills especially after what had happened in the past few days in which around 13 miners are trapped at one coal mine at Ksan, East Jaintia Hills district.

“The government are always denying that there is illegal mining of coal however I want request both the Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong and Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma if need I will take them to various locations in Jaintia Hills where illegal coal mining still continues,” she said.

She also said that the Ministers in the government should put their seat of power behind them provide adequate security so she can guide them to the different illegal coal mines.
