Tripartite meeting on March 18 to review Assam Accord

Guwahati, Mar 8 : A tripartite meeting would be held in New Delhi on March 18 among Union Home Ministry, Assam Government and All Assam Students' Union (AASU) to review the progress of implementation of the Assam Accord.

The meeting would be held with Union Home Secretary G K Pillai, and the non-implementation of various clauses of the Accord would be discussed in detail, AASU advisor Samujjal Bhattacharya told reporters here today.

Bhattacharya said the sealing of the 272-km Indo-Bangladesh border was far from complete and the Central Government has to "answer for the delay".

"The government has failed to implement border sealing and as a consequence unbated influx was continuing causing immense threat to the indigenous Assamese," he said.

Besides, updating of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) was expected to be completed by December 31, 2010 but till now the modalities have not been worked out, Bhattacharya pointed out.
