KHADC CEM slams Govt move to make law on Rangbah Shnong

SHILLONG: KHADC CEM Adelbert Nongrum has questioned the State Government’s plan to come up with an ordinance for defining the roles and responsibility of the Rangbah Shnong to provide an interim relief on the stalemate.
“We feel that the Government is trying to intrude into the subjects belonging to the KHADC. As per the Constitution, the State Government cannot make laws to preserve and uphold our traditional customs,” Nongrum said here on Thursday, while adding that this is not the first time that the Government is trying to intrude into the jurisdiction of the Council. “The attempt of MUDA to expand into the areas of the Council is a clear indication of the intention of the Government to weaken the district council,” the KHADC CEM added.
