TURA: A conglomeration of organisations in East Garo Hills have served a week’s deadline to the district administration to complete a bridge over Rongap river in Baiza after repeated petitions failed to make any headway in the past.
These organisations, namely the GSU, AIGU, FAF among others had submitted a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner providing an ultimatum of 15 days which ended on Oct 1.
”We held a meeting with the district administration in in which they informed us that departmental process is being taken up on the bridge construction which could be settled in the next few days. As such we decided to extend our deadline by seven days,” stated Jintu Ch Marak, president of Federation for A’chik Freddom (FAF).
