TURA: Nokmas and Gaonburas from Tikrikilla area have expressed concern over illegal stone quarries and unchecked transportation of stones by non-local quarry owners who do not possess any valid documents.
The concern was raised during the meeting of the Association of Nokmas and Gaonburas from Tikrikilla on Saturday at Bakripara Village in West Garo Hills.
During the meeting, it was highlighted that stones were being transported to Assam on a regular basis from the region resulting in environmental degradation and it was happening under the very noses of many Nokmas and Gaonburas who permit such illegal activities. It was decided to check and stop this activity.
The association also decided to draw the government’s attention to several link roads which have remained without repair for decades. Other subjects of discussion included rampant alcohol and tobacco consumption by school students and their sale, ban on use of plastic to be sought from the district administration, menace of crime in the vicinity of the Gaptuli Forest area, setting up of an anti dacoity camp, lack of proper toilets in Tikrikilla market and hardship faced by the people in banking.
