The Non-Gazetted Employees Association (NGEA) in Garo Hills districts has sought for a postponement of the polls to the Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC) in Meghalaya. The NGEA has sought for the postponement of polls until the disbursement of their pending salaries.

The NGEA has informed that it will meet Meghalaya Governor Satya Pal Malik to appeal for postponement of the GHADC elections that are slated for April 9. NEGA said,  ?Holding election to GHADC is a constitutional mandate. We are not disputing it. However, payment of salaries to the employees is also a mandate under Article 14 of the Constitution of India."

The NGEA said that it has lone option to boycott the elections if the Government fails to clear their pending salaries.  Meanwhile, the Draft Publication of Electoral Rolls has been prepared in accordance with the Assam Meghalaya Autonomous Districts (Constitution of District Councils Rules, 1951) for GHADC constituencies in the Garo Hills districts. A copy of the Electoral Roll has been made available for inspection at the offices of the Deputy Commissioners and at each polling station during office hours.
