Sonowal's conveyed his views to a Mising community delegation and assured the members that he would write to the Maharashtra government to register Assam's reservation.
Responding to the delegation's viwes that the community should be described as 'Mising' instead of 'Miri' in government documents, Sonowal said he would consider the demand.
Sonowal also assured the delegation that the government would conduct a land survey soon of the Mising inhabited areas. The meeting also discussed fund allocation in the Mising Autonomous Council areas.
