The MDA government has failed to curb or resolve the issue of joblessness in the state of Meghalaya, the party said.
Meghalaya TMC leaders including District Convenor I Diengdoh, Joint Secretary J Sen and TMC Shella candidate, P Khiewtam met the employees of MCCL (Mawmluh Cherra Cement Ltd) who are on an indefinite sit-in and extended their support.
On June 14, Mawmluh Cherra Cements Employees Union (MCCEU) began an indefinite sit-in demonstration in front of the MCCL office as a mark of protest against the authorities.
