Shillong, May 17 (PTI) Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma today said the state government would ask the Centre to institute a CBI inquiry into the clash and police firing at Langpih, the disputed area at the Assam-Meghalaya border. "There was a consensus on the issue of a time-bound CBI enquiry into the incident," he said at a press conference after meeting with political parties and NGOs.

Sangma said he would hold a discussion with his Assam counterpart Tarun Gogoi after his return from abroad to solve the long-pending border issue between the states. Sangma along with Deputy Chief Minister Don Kupar Roy and Bindo M Lanong''s representative, cabinet colleagues and representatives of political parties would visit Langpih tomorrow. Meghalaya government also decided to pay Rs 3 Lakh each to the next of kin of those killed in the firing.
