Guwahati, Oct. 24 -- The Assam cabinet on Thursday approved the exemption of Scheduled Tribes (STs), tea tribes and the Moran and Muttock communities from the state's two-child policy for government jobs and local body elections, chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said. "Today's cabinet decided to keep STs, tea-tribes and the Moran and Muttock communities outside the purview of the provision of the two-child norm," Sarma said after the cabinet meeting. "If we are strict in enforcing them for these communities, a time could come when these micro-communities like Morans who have around 100,000 population would get reduced further and become minuscule and lose their identity." Sarma said that the cabinet also discussed in detail about providing land rights to people from the tea tribe community. He state that if the state's land ceiling law is amended, then around 290,000 bighas of land (nearly 95,700 acres) could be distributed among 400,000 families from the community. He also said state cabinet approved tabling of probe report into the 1983 Nellie Massacre during the next assembly session....
