SILCHAR, 10 FEB, 1999 (PTI):: The Barak Gana Parishad (BGP) has ruled out formation of an Autonomous Council for the people of Barakland and said that creation of a separate State was the only solution to the problems faced by this region.
`We have already turned down the proposal of Chief Minister Prafulla Kumar Mahanta for creation of an Autonomous Council. The councils set up for the Bodos, Karbis and North Cachar Hills have turned out to be damp squibs. A permanent solution can be worked out by creation of a separate Barakland State,' BGP president Rati Ranjan Roy told newsmen at Silchar on February 9. (PTI).
