India has every right to construct roads in remote areas within its territory even if the location is close to any international border. “The roads in border areas are for the benefit of indigenous people of India. The roads are within Indian territory and no country should have any objection to it. We are free to carry out development work within our territory,” said Rijiju. The Minister said the Government would go ahead with the construction of ‘frontier highways’ in border areas. On ushering in investmentconducive climate in the North East, Rijiju said the time has come to change the mindset of people in the region. “The fact that the protracted demands have remained unaddressed shows that successive governments in the region have failed to thrash out a solution. The respective state governments must admit this reality. New Delhi will always support the positive initiatives in the northeast,” said Rijiju. Assam and Meghalaya Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi and Mukul Sangma also attended the conclave. Meghalaya CM, Mukul Sangma, and his Assam counterpart, tried to attract investments in education, renewable energy and human resource development in the region. “India has to progress taking along the northeast.

Land prices are going up and five star hotels are coming up in the city. "The region has a lot of prospects,” Gogoi said at the Northeast Infrastructure Conclave organized by PHD Chamber on Friday.

In a letter addressed to Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Zeliang yesterday made an earnest appeal to ensure that the guilty are arrested and brought to book. He also urged Hooda to take all steps to prevent such inhuman acts. Zeliang said it is a matter of great disappointment that people from the North East region were being subjected to such attacks. It is indeed a matter of immense concern that such acts of racial attacks continue with impunity, he said. Expressing concern that hate crimes against the people of the north eastern region were on the rise all over the country, especially in the metropolitan cities and the national capital region, Lok Sabha MP Neiphiu Rio urged the Centre to take immediate action and also undertake all necessary measures that would reassure that the citizens of the north eastern region were equal citizens of this nation. Stating that these incidents of hate crime deserve to be condemned by every right thinking citizen, Rio demanded exemplary punishment in the greater interest of the India's unity and integrity. "The victims must be appropriately compensated, cared for and rehabilitated and the region must be reassured or else the consequences of neglect and inaction will be detrimental to the national interest of our country," Rio said. Rio further urged for the consideration of the matter in a serious light. Expressing disappointment, he said the NE people are being treated and attacked like foreign nationals or enemies of the nation. -PTI Heavyrainspredicted in next 24 hrs CHENNAI, Oct 18: The North East Monsoon today set in over South India, bringing its first spell of rains and the MeT department has predicted heavy to very heavy rainfall in Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Kerala in the next 24 hours.
