CTF 154 is specifically oriented towards training and capacity building of member nations of CMF. It reflects the region’s growing trust in India’s professional expertise, operational experience, and role as a Preferred Security Partner among the 47 nations of the CMF.

He reiterated that the agreement will not have any adverse impact on farmers, especially those in Punjab, and will instead benefit industry and trade while creating new employment opportunities for the youth.

Speaking to the media after a meeting of party workers at Mohali yesterday, he emphasised that crops grown in Punjab, such as wheat, paddy, maize, and sugarcane, have been kept outside the scope of the agreement and will not affect farmers in any way.

Mr. Jakhar appealed to farmer groups as well to clearly state what impact they believe the deal will have on Punjab’s farmers. He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi is firmly committed to protecting farmers’ interests, and the same resolve has ensured that Punjab farmers’ interests are safeguarded in this agreement. 

In Meghalaya, Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma yesterday announced an innovative scheme offering 70 percent subsidy support for homestays in preparation for the National Games 2027. The announcement was made during the Land Handover ceremony for the proposed five-star Holiday Inn Resort at Hotel Polo Orchid in Tura, organised by the Department of Tourism.

Under the scheme, beneficiaries will receive 70 percent subsidy to establish homestays designed as sports hostels, which they will own and operate after the Games. “This innovative approach will not only address accommodation challenges but also create entrepreneurship and livelihoods for our people,” he said, stressing that Meghalaya must cater to all categories of tourists through a mix of high-end hotels and community-based homestays.

Sangma further outlined major connectivity and infrastructure initiatives, including runway expansion in Shillong, the Rs 50-crore state-funded repair and revival of Tura Airport with expected UDAN operations, heliport development, an upcoming IT park, a medical college, an additional secretariat and urban beautification projects.

The Chief Minister also described the proposed ₹130 crore Holiday Inn Resort project as a major leap forward for the Garo Hills region. He said the investment aligns with the State Government’s broader vision of transforming Meghalaya into a 10-billion-dollar economy through the strategic development of tourism and allied sectors. He articulated a long-term vision of transforming Meghalaya into a USD 150 billion economy by 2047.

Tourism Minister Timothy D. Shira and other dignitaries were present at the programme. The upcoming five-star resort is expected to enhance high-end hospitality infrastructure in the region and further position Meghalaya as a key tourism destination in the Northeast.
