Assam expresses reservation on Maharashtra text book describing Assam's forest man Jadav Payeng as nomad

Taking a serious note on describing Padmashreeand Forest Man of India Jadav Payeng as nomad in a text book in the Maharashtra State curriculum, Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal informed a delegation of the Mising community that he would write to the Maharashtra government about the Assam’s reservation.

Meeting a delegation of the mising community in Assam Legislative Assembly, Chief Minister Sonowal assured the delegation that he would write to the Maharashtra government about Assam’s reservation.

Responding to the delegation’s aversion that mising community should be mentioned as Mising instead of Miri in government documents, Sonowal assured that the government would do the needful to change the nomenclature.


Sonowal also assured to conduct land survey and land allotment soon in the Mising people inhabitant areas. The meeting also discussed about fund allocation in the Mising Autonomous Council areas.
