KHADC budget session reduced

SHILLONG: The Budget session of the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) has been reduced to four days instead of five days in view of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The budget session is scheduled from March 25 to March 29.
Post the felicitation speeches of MDCs to the newly elected Deputy Chairman Alvin Khyriem Sawkmie, UDP MDC Titoswell Chyne raised a point of order and asked if the days can be reduced since the MDCs are busy with MP elections.
He suggested if the session can be reduced from five to four days in which discussions will be held in the morning session while the demand for grants will be for the evening session.
Congress MDC and spokesperson of the party, Ronnie Lyngdoh supported the suggestion and said it is okay.
Chairman of KHADC, PN Syiem announced changes in the schedule which was approved by the MDCs.
