The South Garo Hills district of Meghalaya has announced a two‑day non‑cooperation movement to protest issues related to National Highway 62.
South Garo Hills district officials have declared a two‑day non‑cooperation movement, targeting concerns linked to National Highway 62. The protest is set to run for 48 hours, with organisers urging residents to suspend normal cooperation with authorities connected to the highway.
The district’s leaders say the action is intended to highlight grievances over the handling of NH‑62, which passes through the region. Participants have been asked to refrain from using highway‑related services and to avoid any form of assistance to government agencies overseeing the road.
Authorities have been informed of the planned strike and have called for a peaceful observance. No further details on the specific demands or expected impact have been released at this stage.
The movement underscores growing local discontent over infrastructure projects in the northeastern state, reflecting broader tensions between communities and development initiatives.
