The Meghalaya High Court has directed the removal of employees protesting at the entrance of the Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC) offices to prevent disruption of official work.
The staff have been demonstrating over a 42-month delay in salary payments.
Authorities aim to ensure smooth functioning of the council while addressing the grievances of employees.
The court’s intervention highlights the balance between lawful protest and maintaining administrative operations in Meghalaya.
