What the report makes clear: The state government intends to start implementing the accord after Durga Puja, with land rights among the issues discussed.

Still open: The report does not yet say what the accord contains, which groups are party to it, or what specific land rights issues remain unresolved.

Another way to look at it: The pace of implementation and the details of what is "feasible" will shape how communities affected by the accord assess the outcome.

What do you think should be prioritised when the accord talks resume in Delhi?
