“In the past, we always traveled to Shillong, Assam, for such meetings. Now, for the first time, this important NEC meeting will be held in our state,” Saha stated.
Preparations are in full swing to ensure the event’s smooth execution.
The two-day plenary session will address several key issues, including the development of the northeastern region, the India-Bangladesh border, and the progress of ongoing developmental projects.
Established under the North-Eastern Council Act of 1971, the NEC serves as a regional planning and advisory body for the eight northeastern states, including Sikkim. The organization is headquartered in Shillong.
