SHILLONG: In a clear cut case of violation of the ruling of the High Court of Meghalaya, a village Sordar claimed that he has been issuing certificates to the residents of his village.
“I have been issuing the certificates since many villagers come to me for issue of certificates either for opening of a bank account or for submission to the government departments to avail various schemes,” Skhembor Khongjirem, Sordar of Wahkhen village in East Khasi Hills District, said while taking to newsmen here on Friday.
He claimed that the certificates have greatly helped residents, especially farmers who are applying for loan and various government schemes.
Meanwhile, the Sordar dismissed as baseless the allegation that the Wahkhen market was closed down by the police.
