TURA, March 20: Several groups from North Garo Hills staged a procession to protest against non-tribal participation in the forthcoming Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC) elections.
Members from the Garoland State Movement Committee, Garo Students’ Union and Dainadubi Youth Federation along with members of the public from Bangsi Apal were seen carrying banners and raising slogans, demanding a halt to participation by non-tribals in the Council elections.
The protesting group members also questioned as to how a non-tribal can partake in an election to an autonomous body, which is meant solely to safeguard the interests of the tribal community.
