Shillong, Aug 17: The North East Students’ Organisation (NESO) has announced a sit-in demonstration across seven capital cities of the North East states – Guwahati, Itanagar, Shillong, Aizawl, Kohima, Imphal and Agartala – on Monday.
The strike aims to pressure the state and central governments to clamp down on the entry of illegal immigrants by formulating laws and mechanisms.
NESO, an umbrella body representing various student organisations across the North East, has been vocal about its concerns regarding illegal immigration and its impact on the region’s demographics and security.
In Shillong, the Khasi Students’ Union (KSU) will hold a demonstration at Khyndailad, adjacent to the Assembly, in the afternoon.
