Union Home Minister highlights solutions to issues of internally displaced Brus, Bodo extremism.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi played a decisive role in solving the northeast’s problems of extremism and restoring peace in the region, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said in Guwahati on Sunday. He underscored the resolution of long-pending issues such as the rehabilitation of the internally displaced Brus and bringing Bodo extremist groups to the talks table. “Peace eluded the northeast because of a slew of irritating problems. Modiji has been solving the problems one by one. I have seen the process closely after becoming the Home Minister.” “We have implemented 90% of the clauses in the BTR [Bodoland Territorial Region] pact. Land has been allotted in nine of the 14 places identified for the rehabilitation of the Brus [in Tripura]. More than 35,000 Brus will get land to stay. They will get ration and live respectfully,” the Home Minister said.More Related News
