SHILLONG: Amid reports that former KHADC CEM Adelbert Nongrum and his supporters are likely to withdraw their indefinite hunger strike, KHNAM leader Pyndap Saibon on Sunday said a decision on calling off the hunger strike would be taken on Monday.
Earlier on Sunday, Nongrum confided to reporters that he was keen to end his indefinite hunger strike in the aftermath of passage of the modified KHADC (Village Administration) Bill, 2014 by the Congress-led PDF in the KHADC.
According to Nongrum, continuing with the hunger strike was meaningless since the KHADC had passed the bill, albeit a modified one.
Reminding that he had been demanding passage of the original Village Administration Bill, Nongrum asserted that he would continue his fight against the modified VAB but through other means of protests.
