The National Peoples’ Party (NPP) today requested the Meghalaya government to install the statue of former Lok Sabha Speaker P A Sangma here and in Tura and rename two roads after him in the state.
“I would like to propose the renaming of two roads and space be allotted, one each in Shillong and Tura, to put a monument/statue in his memory,” his son and NPP president Conrad K Sangma said in a letter to Chief Minister Mukul Sangma.
Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma had praised P A Sangma for having been conferred with the award, the first to be bagged by a person from Meghalaya.
“The space which was occupied by P A Sangma, not just from the perspective of being a leader from the NE but also from the fact that he comes from among the tribal community have articulated the sentiments of the people of the region,” Mukul had said.
