TURA: The All A’chik Youth Federation (AAYF) has decided to go ahead with its proposed agitation in view of the Government failing to respond to its demand for dissolution of the current executive committee of the GHADC to make way for the holding of fresh elections.
Earlier, the federation had served an ultimatum until May 15 for the Government to dissolve the present executive committee as well as to fix the date for election to the GHADC.
A one day office picketing of the GHADC in protest against the alleged illegal extension of its term was also organized under the banner of Joint Opposition Alliance (JOA) in which the federation participated.
The decision to go ahead with the proposed agitation comes after it failed to receive any kind of response or assurance from the Government even after the expiry of its ultimatum on Friday.
The agitation will begin with a poster campaign on May 18 followed by a Non Cooperation Movement (NCM) during the day on 19th and 20th. A Night Road Blockade is also being called from 5:00 pm to 5:00 am on 19th and 20th which will continue till the morning of 21st.
The federation, however, exempted hospitals, pharmacies, emergency service providers like the MeECL, water tankers, milk vans, ambulances, daily wagers including those with medical emergencies from the purview of both the NCM and night road blockade.
