Two-day bandh from Feb. 9 in West Khasi district

Shillong, Feb 6 : A students' body in West Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya has called two-day bandh on February 9 in the district headquarters town of Nongstoin demanding repair of all roads in the district.

"We had earlier asked the government to improve the condition of roads in the district but the authorities continued to ignore the demand," President of West Khasi Hills Students Union's Nongstoin circle, Ronald Syiem said.

Accusing the government of going back on its promise, the students' body also criticized the local MLA and other ministers of the government for turning a blind eye to the problems after getting elected.
