Imphal, October 15 2014:
The Hill Areas Committee (HAC) of the State Legislative Assembly is set to send a proposal to the State Government to implement 6th Schedule in the hill districts of the State although the United Naga Council (UNC) had denied the same offer on three different occasions made by the Centre during the course of 17 years old political dialogue between NSCN (IM) and the Centre.
According to a reliable source, the matter was decided in a meeting of HAC, held this afternoon.
Committee members observed that the matter had already been discussed two times in the State Cabinet meetings held during the time of RK Ranbir and RK Dorendra.
Today's meeting also discussed the amendment of Hill Areas Village Authority Act 1956, the source added.
Later, the meeting resolved to take opinions from ADCs in this regard.
