SHILLONG: The Hynniewtrep Youth Council (HYC) has threatened to launch a series of agitation in view of the adamant attitude of the State Government in passing the Khasi Hills Autonomous District (Village Administration) Bill, 2014 which was forwarded by the KHADC.
“We have decided to hold a series of public rallies before going ahead with our agitation to pressurize the Government to pass the bill,” HYC president Peter J Lawai said on Wednesday.
“People require residential certificates from the Rangbah Shnong for various purposes and are presently facing great difficulties since the Rangbah Shnong is not authorized to issue such certificates,” Lawai said.
The HYC president informed that the first public rally would be organised at Jaiaw Pdeng near Gordon Robert Hospital on May 22 to be followed by similar rallies in various parts of the city.
“We will organize the final public rally on May 29 at the same venue where former KHADC CEM Adelbert Nongrum is sitting on the indefinite hunger strike. If the government fails to pass the bill by then we will announce a series of agitation,” he added.
