“From the government, we requested them to withdraw the agitational programme and instead (of agitating) come to the table for discussion,” Deputy Chief Minister in-charge Home (Police) Prestone Tynsong said while referring to a meeting between Deputy Chief Minister Sniawbhalang Dhar and MCTODA on the issue.
He said the government is awaiting a decision from MCTODA regarding the withdrawal of the agitation, Tynsong said.
Asked about the arrested MCTODA leaders, Tynsong said the law will take its own course.
