KSU demands scrapping of Ordinance

SHILLONG: The KSU on Sunday demanded immediate scrapping of the Ordinance passed by the State Government to empower traditional heads in the State.
KSU president Daniel Khyriem on Sunday said the Ordinance should be scrapped immediately since it contradicted the Village Administration Bill passed by the KHADC.
Khyriem said that the Union wanted Sub Section 2 of Section 5 of the Bill and Sub Section 16 of Section 5 to be incorporated in the Bill as they talk about streamlining of the powers and regulations of the traditional bodies, customary practice and regularization of the people coming from outside into the State.
“If these two points are incorporated, we won’t have any problem,” he said.
The KSU has, meanwhile, calling a meeting of 13 organisations on Monday at 11 am to discuss issues relating to the Village Administration Bill, among others.
