SHILLONG, Dec 13: The Seng Kur Lyngdoh Thabah Seng Kmie, commemorating its silver jubilee, will convene a meeting of all Thabah clan members at Jaiaw Lumpyllon Dorbar Community Hall on Saturday. Addressing a press conference here on Tuesday, clan’s Seng Kmie president, NR Thabah, said that the event will mark several activities from introducing new members as well as enlightening clan members on various activities of the Seng Kmie, the umbrella body of the Seng Kur Thabah and future plans.
While inviting all Thabah clan members to converge on at 10 am on Saturday, the Seng Kmie president urged those using only Lyngdoh instead of Lyngdoh Thabah to revert back to the age-old clan’s original name.
“There are many Lyngdoh clans in the Khasi and Jaiñtia Hills, and hence it is wise to use the original title Thabah so mistakes can be avoided especially in terms of understanding relations,” he stressed. Seng Kmie’s general secretary RB Thabah said the event will also mark the felicitation of meritorious students from matriculation to PhD, while senior members of the clan, above the age of 85 years, will also honoured.
Close to 5500 clan members from across the state are expected to attend the event.
Seng Samla Seng Kur Thabah president, Kiewshaphrang JW Thabah said that winners of the raffle ticket draw will be announced on the same day. He asked ticket holders to bring the ticket along, should they win the jackpot.
The clan will also release the Clan Almanak for the calendar year 2024, informed general secretary of the Seng Samla Seng Kur Thabah, Banteibor Thabah, while calling upon the youth of the Thabah clan to take all efforts to attend the gathering.
