NONGSTOIN: KHADC MDC Gabriel Wahlang, who was recently nominated to the Council, was on Friday felicitated by the Nongstoin Assembly Youth Congress and the West Khasi Hills District Congress Committee at a function held at Nongstoin, which, incidentally, was boycotted by the Nongstoin Block Congress Committee, who were opposed to Wahlang’s nomination and had proposed the name of Adviser Pariong instead.

He assured to work for the greater welfare of the constituency and the district.
Others who attended the function included West Khasi Hills DCC president Eureca Lyngdoh, president of Nongstoin Assembly Youth Congress Komar Kharbani, Langrin MDC Mansturdy Nongrem, Mawphlang MDC Lamphrang Blah, DCC working president B.K. Bani and former MDCs Nestingdar Nongdkhar, S. Rashir and N. Diengngan, among others.
