“The decision was taken in a joint meeting held today at Khliehriat,” AJYWO president MH Dkhar informed.
“We had demanded immediate repair of the National Highway which has created inconvenience among the commuters due to the deplorable condition of the road but the government has failed to take any action,” Dkhar said.
He also requested the people to support the night road blockade which will be effective only in East Jaintia Hills District.
