For the eighth day, ACHIK has been on a hunger strike in Tura

The hunger strike led by Achik Conscious Holistically Integrated Krima (ACHIK) in the town of Tura entered its 8th day today, as protestors vowed to continue until receiving assurances from Chief Minister Conrad Sangma or his cabinet colleagues regarding the raised concerns.

ACHIK, along with many other non-governmental organisations (NGOs), have been demanding the retrospective implementation of the job roster system as well as the creation of a Winter Capital in the town of Tura.
