Garos threaten massive agitation for 'Garoland'

Tura, Nov 15: The Garo Hills State Movement Committee (GHSMC) on Wednesday threatened to launch a “massive democratic agitation” to put pressure on the central and state governments to set up a Garoland, to be carved out of Garo areas in Assam and Meghalaya. The GHSMC — a conglomeration of several Garo organisations including the Garo tiol Council (GNC), a regiol political party — said their demand was on the linguistic lines of the States Reorganisations Act, 1956.
