The meeting also said that land for development activities should be taken over only after the rehabilitation package is implemented.
It also said that the government should withdraw from privatising national highways in the name of BoT operations.
The assembly also said that the government should re-examine its policy of encouraging liquor business by permitting bars and toddy shops at will.
