According to reports, members of the KSU (Khasi Students’ Union) staged a protest at Shillong’s Harrison Bridge on Tuesday (11 March), opposing the government’s plan to introduce railways in Jaintia Hills and demanding the immediate repeal of the Meghalaya State Investment Promotion and Facilitation Act (MSIPF).
Police erected barricades to prevent protesters from marching toward the Assembly, where the budget session was underway. The protesters also raised slogans demanding the implementation of the Inner Line Permit (ILP), voicing concerns over an unchecked influx of outsiders into the region.
