Title:Need to expedite the process for the inclusion of Bodo-Kacharis living in Karbi-Anglong and in North Cachar Hill Autonomous Districts in the ST. (Hills) list of Assam.
SHRI SANSUMA KHUNGGUR BWISWMUTHIARY (KOKRAJHAR): There is an urgent need to help facilitate the inclusion of the Bodo-Kacharis living in Karbi-Anglong and North Cachar Hills Autonomous districts in the ST. (Hills) list in the state of Assam.
On 10th February, 2003 while signing the new political agreement with the leadership of the erstwhile Bodo Liberation Tigers (B.L.T.) the Union Government had agreed to consider sympathetically the inclusion of the Bodo-Kacharis living in Karbi-Anglong and North Cachar Hills Autonomous Districts in the ST (Hills) list in the State of Assam. I would like to remind the Government that nothing tangible has been done so far in this regard even after the elapse of a long period of five years.
I would, therefore, like to strongly urge upon the Central Govt, to take appropriate steps and effective initiatives to help speed up the process for the inclusion of the Bodo-Kacharis living in Karbi-Anglong and in North Cachar hills Autonomous Districts in the S. T( Hills) List in relation to Assam without any furthermore delay.
