SHILLONG: Joining the chorus demanding passage of the Khasi Hills Autonomous District (Village Administration) Bill, 2014, the Thynroid Village Dorbar has come forward to support former KHADC CEM Adelbert Nongrum to impress upon the Government to pass the bill at the earliest.
“We give our full support to Nongrum in his demand for passage of the bill. We will not hesitate to join the indefinite hunger strike if the situation demands,” general secretary of Thynroid Dorbar Harkin Warjri told newsmen here on Thursday.
“The Dorbar has been functioning as per prevailing system since time immemorial. Therefore, this attempt to clip the powers of the traditional institutions is a dangerous trend,” Warjri said, adding that various institutions like the District Council, Hima and Raid will also cease to exist if the powers of the Rangbah Shnong are taken away.
While maintaining that the Dorbar will not oppose the recent ordinance approved by the State Cabinet, Warjri questioned whether a six-month ordinance is enough to resolve the issue when there has been attempt to scrap even the existing customary laws which was there for decades.
