Concern over MPYC boycott of ST

SHILLONG: The Nokma of Tura town and ANVC-B leader Bernard N Marak has urged MPYC to settle the issue of boycott against The Shillong Times mutually without disrupting the circulation of the paper in Garo Hills.
In a statement issued  on Sunday, Marak said that The Shillong Times should open its office and resume circulation of the daily without fear and hesitation.
“However, The Shillong Times must take note of the points raised by MPYC members and make necessary arrangements without stopping regular circulation,” Marak added.
“People should not be deprived of important news, especially at a time when students are waiting for college admission announcements from outside Garo Hills,” Marak said.
He added that since thousands of people do not have access to internet, hence their sole means of information is only through local newspapers.
