NEW DELHI, May 30: Union Minister for Heavy Industries Santosh Mohan Dev today ruled out any compromise with Black Widow militants who have virtually created terror in the North Cachar Hills of Asom. “A handful of DHD(J) militants have unleashed violence in the hill district and there should not be any compromise while dealing with them with a firm hand,” he said while addressing a press meet here today.
The Union Minister said that more security forces are being deployed in the NC Hills to ensure smooth execution of the Railway Broad Gauge project and the Express Highway project. The minister is going to meet the Defence Minister and the Railway Minister next week to discuss the present situation in the district. Meanwhile, the North Eastern Council (NEC) has sanctioned Rs 2.4 crore for repairing the Silchar-Kalain road, the Union Minister informed the press. An additional amount of Rs 2.5 crore is expected to be sanctioned for this purpose soon, he added.
On the other hand, BJP’s State President Ramen Deka blamed the State Government for the prevailing situation in NC Hills. He said the ensuing two-day national executive meeting of the BJP will take up the matter of internal security in Asom and the State Government’s role in the execution of the Lumding-Silchar BG project.
