Shillong, Aug 18: The Hyniewtrep National Youth Front (HNYF), Nartiang Circle, and the Jaintia People Welfare Organisation (JPWO) on Friday apprehended and pushed back more than 18 workers associated with Dhar Company from Moodop village in West Jaintia Hills District as these workers were found lacking proper documentation, including work permits and labour licenses.
According to information gathered by the two pressure groups, these workers had been granted working permits solely for the East Khasi Hills District and were not authorized to engage in work elsewhere. Nonetheless, they were discovered in West Jaintia Hills, without possessing the necessary permits.
Both the HNYF and JPWO expressed strong criticism towards Dhar Company for employing outsiders, especially when local youths are struggling to secure viable employment opportunities. However, they also made the helpless labourers do sit-ups as punishment for not having proper papers.
They underlined that the actions of Dhar Company are resulting in financial losses for the District Council, as these workers have not applied for the required work permits.
