SHILLONG, July 26 � With ethnic violence unabated in neighbouring Assam, political parties and student bodies have asked Meghalaya government to pre-empt any possible influx of Bangladeshi migrants into the State.
�The government should alert the police and take all necessary steps to prevent any possible influx of refugees into Meghalaya,� Paul Lyngdoh, working president of the United Democratic Party, a major constituent of the Congress-led coalition partner in the Meghalaya United Alliance government, said here today.
The party has cautioned the government against any �complacency� in view of the ongoing turmoil in Assam.
