Shillong, Feb 20: The band outfit General Secretary Mr Sainkupar Nongtraw who is general secretary of the HNLC in the press statement issued to media house today claim responsibility for the IED explosion at Kyllon Mathei Pyndeng Jalong near Riangdo, West Khasi Hills District today midnight.
The band outfit general secretary cliam that the reason is because all these coke factories are benami and these factories are flourishing by the help of the local politicians and businessmen.
The general secretary who is also hold publicity in the band outfit said that it is an irony to see that even the employees are all non locals and the local people are deprived of jobs. Areas like Riangdo, Shallang were always doing brisk coal business but till date we did not see any kind of development in those areas.
The band outfit pointed out that the roads are in pathetic conditions and the condition of the rural poor are also very bad. The same thing applies even in jaintia hills. For decades Coal mining and rich businessmen living luxurious lives in jaintia hills but no development at all.
There is not even a good hospital or a nursing home in jaintia hills. All the rich businessmen make trips to apollo Delhi and Chennai but the locals are deprived of the entire necessary Healthcare.
The economy of the state is going down drastically. Right from the congress regime till the MDA regime nothing has changed. All the representatives of legislative assembly are responsible for our sorry state of affairs. Coal being the prime business of the state had generated huge revenues all the while but that was of no use.
It filled up the government private miner’s exchequer and the politicians alleged the HNLC, but the masses are still suffering under poverty and unemployment, under development are at the rise. How long will the state be dependent on coal business? A time will come when all the mines will become emptied.
Then where else shall the revenue come from? Dubai has the fastest growing economy worldwide, at the rate of 78% GDP. Even the Sheikhs of Dubai know that oil reserves shall dry up soon. Since then they have been indulging in mega projects that would raise up the economy and sustain in the long run.
Dubai is concentrating into Tourism, finances, real estate and many other non oil sectors. Even when oil fields run dry they would still be able to sustain themselves in the near future. But here in Meghalaya everything is being taken for granted.
The leaders are acting as parasites eating up all the resources of the state. Leaders have done nothing for the state but for themselves allege the band outfit. That is the reason why the people are suffering now, with such visionary leaders who have visions only to increase their bank balances and assets.
The HNLC said that the IED explosion at Riangdo was just a small beginning at the same time the HNLC warn to all the political leaders, Businessmen to refrain from indulging into corrupt practices. Said Mr Sainkupar Nongtraw General secretary cum Publicity secretary,HNLC in the press statement.
