Tura, Feb 11: In another major twist to the GHADC fiasco, the employees on behalf of the Non Gazetted Employees Association (NGEA) on Friday, denied support to agitating groups from Garo Hills who are demanding the ouster of newly elected CEM Rakesh A Sangma.
In their letter of clarification to the Secretary of the GHADC, the Secretary of the NGEA said that it would be inappropriate for them as mere employees, to take part in the protests against their own authority.
“We are unable to be a part of the protest as it would be awkward to go against those under whose authority we are working,” the clarification said, while appealing to the authority to understand their situation.
The withdrawal of support comes just three days ahead of the massive rally announced by combined groups which is to take place at the GHADC office premises. The public rally on Monday is expected to see the participation of various groups from all over Garo Hills.
Meanwhile, the Executive Committee of the GHADC on the same day directed all of its officers and staff to carry with them their office ID cards and produce them as and when required.
The order issued in this regard by the Secretary also informed that officers and staff would be issued car passes to be signed by Joint Secretary to the EC, P R Marak, for entry into the premises.
