North Shillong MLA Adelbert Nongrum has strongly condemned the state government’s stand on the issue of the Shillong Municipal Board workers’ salaries.
Stating that the workers are on the frontlines of the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, Nongrum asked the government not to put the workers’ lives in distress.
If the government is facing difficulty in meeting the staff salaries, it should divert funds from paying advisers and consultants in “useless government posts”.
