Lawyers in Meghalaya have taken to the streets demanding the removal of Amit Kumar, amid criticism that the Chief Minister’s assurances are ineffective. The protest reflects growing frustration among legal professionals over the state’s administrative decisions.
Lawyers across Meghalaya have staged a protest in the capital, demanding the removal of Amit Kumar, the state’s top administrator. The demonstration began in the early hours of Monday, with legal professionals gathering at the central junction in Shillong to voice their grievances.
The protestors allege that Kumar’s policies have adversely affected the legal community, citing delays in court processes and perceived interference in judicial matters. They argue that the Chief Minister’s recent assurances have not addressed these concerns.
Police have been deployed to maintain order, and the protest has remained largely peaceful, with participants chanting slogans demanding accountability and transparency.
The state government has yet to respond formally to the lawyers’ demands. Meanwhile, the legal community continues to call for a swift resolution to restore confidence in the state’s judicial administration.
