The ‘Dorbar Shong’ of Jowai as a mark of protest dumped garbage in front of the DC’s office in Jowai today. A public meeting was organised to express the dissatisfaction against the Jowai administration for not being able to provide or set up a dumping site or landfill to dump the garbage and solid waste materials for Jowai and areas in its vicinity.
A group of the dorbar along with the local populace was seen protesting against the government holding a banner which read “ We will defeat the government’s opinion or decision & clean the village surrounding.”
Lately Dorbars and other such community-based organizations have been venting their frustration regarding the functioning of the government in Meghalaya.
