SHILLONG, Jun 21, 2017: Leaders and members of the Federation of Khasi-Jaintia & Garo People (FKJGP), Hynñiewtrep National Youth Front (HNYF), Confederation of Ri Bhoi People (CORP) and Ri Bhoi Youth Federation (RBYF) staged a sit-in-demonstration at a parking lot near Additional Secretariat on Wednesday, as a mark of protest against the decision of the government to go ahead with the railway project in the state.

The NGOs who extended their support to the Khasi Students' Union (KSU) has asked the state government to keep in abeyance the project until a proper mechanism to check influx is put in place.

With placards in their hands, the protestors staged a sit-in-demonstration in the heart of the city. The agitating groups' leaders will be meeting Home Minister HDR Lyngdoh later at 3pm.
