SHILLONG: The Khun Hynniewtrep National Awakening Movement (KHNAM) youth wing has urged the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) to amend the Trading by Non-Tribal Regulation, 1954 to prevent tribals from other states to secure trade benefits.

There has been a growing demand to amend the Constitution (Scheduled Tribe) Order, 1950 relating to the state of Meghalaya to include only indigenous tribes of the state while excluding the other tribes.

Reiterating the demand to amend the Constitution (ST) Order, 1950, KHNAM youth wing president, Thomas Passah said that the word “tribal” in Section 3 in the Regulation should be altered to “indigenous tribal.”

He said the state government should be vigilant to monitor that the benefits entitled to the indigenous tribals should not be diverted to other non-indigenous tribals.  

Passah observed that the representatives, both in the state government and the KHADC should take up the responsibility to ensure that the Parliament amends the Constitution (Scheduled Tribe) Order, 1950.
