Protesting at Dighalipukhuri is contempt of court: Lawyer’s Association

GUWAHATI : The Lawyer’s Association Guwahati might drag the BJP-led government in Contempt of Court case for allowing protest on the banks of Dighalipukhuri.

As per the association, the six-month deadline fixed by the Gauhati High Court has ended on 30th April, 2018. Henceforth, the Dighalipukhuri area is out of bounds for the protestors and agitators. But it seems that the Government is trying to bypass the Court’s order by allowing protesters and agitators much to the hardships caused to commuters by such gatherings.

The Association claims that the Government, by allowing to use Dighalipukhuri as a protest area violates the order of the Gauhati High Court, for which the Government is answerable.

The Association also demanded for an alternative protest site in place of Dighalipukhuri.
