Shillong, July 26 -- Meghalaya BJP Vice President Bernard N. Marak has claimed that University of Science and Technology Meghalaya (USTM) Chancellor, Mahbubul Hoque has "pledged to rehabilitate" evicted people from Assam.
USTM is situated at Baridua, 9th mile in Meghalaya's Ri-Bhoi district. It is about 85 kms from Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya and 6 Km from Assam's capital Dispur.
In a letter to Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma, Marak, who is also the member of Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC), said, such a move by the USTM Chancellor would affect the demography of Meghalaya.
Marak also submitted the letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
