Meghalaya Factories Accused of Harboring Undocumented Migrants

Meghalaya Factories Accused of Harboring Undocumented Migrants

Some people in Meghalaya are worried about workers from Assam who don't have the right paperwork.

They say factories in a place called Byrnihat are hiring these workers, which might not be allowed.

These people, part of a group called FKJGP, checked the factories and said many workers didn't have the required licenses or IDs.

They are asking the government to fix this, because they think it's a security risk.

The group is also concerned about the rapid industrial growth and cross-border migration in the area, and they plan to do more checks if the government doesn't take action.
