A tripartite Memorandum of settlement was recently signed between the Government of India, Government of Meghalaya and Achik National Volunteers' council in the presence of Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh.
Union Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju, Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma, Union home secretary Anil Goswami and other top officials of home ministry and Meghalaya government were present at the occasion.
The Union Home Minister said that the government is willing to enter into dialogue with any group and urged all such groups to give up violence and come forward to find a peaceful solution to their problems.
The agreement, under which the ANVC factions will dissolve their outfits within three months, came about following several rounds of tripartite talks.
The ANVC has been in a tripartite ceasefire agreement with the central and the state government since July 2004.
