Shillong, Aug 24: Social activist Cherian Momin has petitioned the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and the Labour Commission of India regarding the plight of GHADC staff, as they have not been getting salaries for 43 months.
According to Cherian, the petition addresses the grave humanitarian crisis faced by employees of the GHADC, who have been deprived of their rightful salaries for 43 consecutive months, forcing them into prolonged agitation and hardships. “The situation has escalated into a serious violation of fundamental human rights and labour protections guaranteed under the Constitution of India”, he said.
The opposition GHADC MDCs led by the Leader of the Opposition on Sunday attended a prayer service organised by the Tura based Church leaders’ forum. The service was held to pray for good governance, transparency, and effective functioning of the GHADC for the people of Garo Hills. The event brought together political leaders and the community to collectively seek guidance and a positive future for the region.
