SHILLONG: The FKJGP, Mawlai Circle along with the Dorbar Shnong and Seng Samla of Mawlai Nongkwar on Tuesday apprehended and subsequently deported over 70 migrant workers from Mawlai Nongkwar here.
The inspection was carried out after the FKJGP received a complain that there were some migrant workers working at Banalari Motors, Tata Automobile, Mawlai Petrol Pump besides other establishments. The Union has also given a one-month deadline to some of the apprehended persons to produce the work permit which they claimed of having applied from the Government recently.
“If they fail to present their work permits within the stipulated time, we will be compelled to send them away to their hometown”, FKJGP Mawlai circle president Marbud Dkhar said here on Tuesday.
He also stated that they would do what they could to keep Mawlai as the place known for the presence of a single community and not allow a settlement of mixed communities.
