Tura, July 15: The Achik Conscious Holistically Integrated Krima (ACHIK) has started a signature campaign for the Garo Hills region over their demand for a Winter Capital in Tura.
The recently launched NGO has been on a hunger strike over their demand for the retrospective implementation of the roster system as well as the demand for making Tura the winter capital of the state. The hunger strike reached its fifth day today.
“We call upon citizens from all walks of life to participate in the signature campaign to make Tura as Winter Capital. This campaign aims to gather widespread support and generate awareness about the need for a holistic and integrated approach to address the challenges we face as a community,” informed a release by ACHIK.
