TURA: The failure of the East Garo Hills district administration to take action against shops encroaching into the PWD Road at Williamnagar main market has led the East Zone GSU to announce picketing of the Deputy Commissioner’s office including those of other departments on October 10 and 11.
The encroachment of shops into the PWD Road is taking place along the approach road towards Simsang bridge.
Earlier, after the union raised objections against the shops, the district administration had given assurance that all shops will be dismantled. GSU had also demanded that alternative arrangement is made by the district administration for auto rickshaw parking.
With no action forthcoming from the authorities despite the assurance, the union has decided to go ahead with the agitation. Meanwhile, the GSU informed that garbage trucks and collectors will be exempted from the agitation.
