SHILLONG, June 30: The state government will constitute a search committee to appoint a new chairperson of the Meghalaya State Commission for Women (MSCW).
Social Welfare Minister Paul Lyngdoh on Friday said the search committee will comprise government officials and non-official members who would be drawn up from colleges like the Principal of Women’s College and Lady Keane College.
Lyngdoh said some stop-gap arrangements will be considered until a new chairperson is appointed.
On the removal of Phidalia Toi from the chair, Lyngdoh said he exercised his power to act without fear, favour, affection or ill-will.
Reiterating that he had gone through the file where it is clearly mentioned that she skipped as many as 12 important meetings of the Commission, citing health reasons, Lyngdoh added that she was also linked to a political campaign. “Once you take over as the chairperson, you have to stay away from politics,” he added.
