SHILLONG : Mothers leading the agitation against the proposed Shillong Ropeway Project have vowed to continue their indefinite protest until the government either scraps the project or shifts it to another location.

As the sit-in entered its fourth day on Monday, Secretary of the Joint Action Committee (JAC) against the Shillong Ropeway Project, Dr Linda Marbaniang, said the protesters had resolved not to withdraw from the agitation until the government responds to their demands.

Speaking on Monday, Dr Marbaniang said the mothers were determined to continue their protest despite spending four consecutive days and nights at the demonstration site.

She expressed disappointment over what she described as the government’s continued silence, questioning why no clear decision had been communicated to the protesters.

According to her, the committee is waiting for the government to come forward and clarify its position on the demands raised against the project.

Dr Marbaniang reiterated that the agitation would continue without compromise until the authorities decide to scrap the proposed ropeway or relocate it elsewhere.

She stressed that the protesters would neither step back nor abandon their movement, maintaining that the government must respond to their concerns.

The JAC’s indefinite sit-in demonstration is centred on its demand for the proposed Shillong Ropeway Project to be shifted from its planned location, with the protesting mothers insisting that their agitation will continue until a decision is taken.
