SHILLONG: The Hynniewtrep Youths’ Council (HYC) will hold a rally cum sit-in demonstration to mark the death anniversary of U Syiem Tirot Sing Syiem on July 17.
The rally will begin from Dinam Hall, Jaiaw and will culminate at IGP road opposite Soso Tham Auditorium, where they will hold the sit-in demonstration.
The sit-in protest is held on the ground that the State Government has been apathetic in dealing with the issues demanded by the organisation.
The HYC will continue to press its 14-points demand, which include the implementation of Inner Line Permit, Residential Permit for Immigrants, Trading and Business Permit for Non Indigenous People beside others.
The HYC has called upon Chief Minister Mukul Sangma and his cabinet ministers for a discussion on July 22 at Khasi National Durbar Hall, Mawkhar.
“We have urged him to call for talks but he declined so this time we will call him instead to discuss on the demands of the organisation,” the statement stated.
The organisation stated that it is prepared to agitate against the State Government if they refused to attend the meeting.
HYC will also hold a meeting on July 29, with the MLAs over their demands for which they have submitted a representation earlier. “If the MLAs refuse to come, we will protest in front of their homes and in their constituency,” the statement said.
