After the meeting, held at the ICSSR-NERC Guest House in NEHU, was over, HYC president Roy Kupar Synrem told reporters the decision to revive CoMSO was made to unify efforts for tackling key regional issues. He said the groups agreed to hold the second meeting at Tura soon in connection with the election of office bearers.
