The West Garo Hills district administration has prohibited any assembly or gathering of more than five persons at the Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC) premises at Hawakhana, Tura.
The order was issued on Wednesday in view of the information received that some NGOs are going to protest against the functioning of GHADC office, and such protest will obstruct the smooth functioning of the office works and also violates COVID-19 protocols as issued by Health and Family Welfare Department.
The order also prohibits causing any obstruction or intimidation to movement of office vehicles or office goers, moving in to the areas mentioned with the intention of carrying out any kind of protest and carrying or concealing on person of lathis, sticks, stones, missiles, firearms or any kind of lethal weapons, by any person or group of persons or organisation.
However, this order would not apply to armed force personnel or para military personnel and other law enforcing agencies on lawful duty or deployment.
The order will extend to the entire complex of Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC), Hawakhana, Tura.
