“We have decided to temporarily postpone our agitation following an assurance from the Deputy Commissioner,” ) KSU South West Khasi Hills general secretary Forwardman Nongrem said in a statement on Tuesday.

The Deputy Commissioner Ripnar Lyngdoh has assured to pursue the demand with the State Government.

The road project was scrapped, based on the recommendation of the Chief Minister in the 118th meeting of NLCPR committee.

“We will resort to agitation if the Deputy Commissioner fails to break the deadlock,” Nongrem said.
