SHILLONG: The district administration of East Khasi Hills on Thursday committed a major faux pas by making an official announcement that transportation facility has been arranged for the Government employees to attend the offices during ‘bandh’ on Friday.
After finding it to be a rumour, the administration later withdrew the order.
In fact, the BJP Mahila Morcha is organising a nationwide protest against cap on subsidised LPG cylinders and fuel price hike on Friday.
When contacted, BJP’s State general secretary Dipayan Chakraborty confirmed about this nationwide protest.
“We have not made any arrangement to participate in this nationwide protest in the State considering the festive season,” Chakraborty said.
Meanwhile, the Shillong Times office on Thursday was flooded with phone calls enquiring about Friday’s ‘bandh’.
