NONGPOH: The Hynñiewtrep Youth’s Council- Ri-Bhoi District (HYC-RBD) on Wednesday met the Chief Executive Officer(CEO) of the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC), HS Shylla over the rampant issuing of trade and labour license by the KHADC to Non-Tribals in Ri Bhoi District.
It may be noted, the HYC through its ‘Sier Lapalang Operation’ conducted in the District had evicted many non-tribals who as claim by the council were ‘unchecked, undetected and undocumented’ while also reiterating that there are still large numbers of non-tribal traders who do not have the required licenses from the KHADC but still run their business successfully.
HYC-RBD Vice President, Jayson Lennox Nongrum in a press communiqué also condemned the KHADC enforcement wing for their ‘reckless service’ stating had the enforcement wing of the KHADC works as per their duty assigned to them, this issue would not have come out.
Nongrum further informed that the KHADC CEM, HS Shylla had promised to the Council members that he would personally take up the matter and that and an inspection would be conducted soon by the KHADC and members of the Council in the entire District of Ri Bhoi with regards to labour and trading license.
Further, Nongrum applauded the KHADC CEM for his bold decision and contributions towards the Khasi Community.
