Mounting political pressure on the state administration, the Hill State People's Democratic Party (HSPDP) has strongly demanded a permanent resolution to the long-standing inter-state boundary dispute with Assam ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections in 2028.
The crucial demand was highlighted during the party's general council meeting held on Tuesday, which coincided with its foundation day celebrations in Shillong. Alongside the boundary negotiations, leadership and members reviewed internal organizational matters and discussed pressing regional political developments.
Reaffirming its dedication to its core founding principles, the regional party also renewed its call for several key initiatives. These include official language recognition for Khasi and Garo, the implementation of the Inner Line Permit (ILP) framework, and robust measures to safeguard local regional identity.
