Meghalaya Chief Minister, Conrad K Sangma
on Wednesday said that if necessary the Government will constitute an inquiry
to investigate on the alleged illegal coal mining and also on the attempted
murder of RTI activist, Agnes Kharshiing and her colleague, Amita Sangma in
East Jaintia Hills last week.
“The inquiry will be on the issue of
assault and also on the alleged so called illegal mining,” Conrad told
reporters on the sideline of a function here today.
He also informed that he will call a
meeting of the officials and then chalk out a plan of action to find out the
details on the matter.
Stating that he had only arrived
yesterday from his Europe tour, Chief Minister said that he will also discuss
with his cabinet colleagues before taking a decision to constitute an inquiry
into this matter.
Meanwhile, he clarified that the visit to
NEGRHIMS to see Kharshiing was more on a humanitarian ground and it was not a
visit to find out details about this case.
“I had gone to find out about her health
condition. It is encouraging to see that she is recovering. She is definitely
on the path of recovery,” Conrad added.
