SHILLONG, June 8: The Synjuk Ki Rangbah Kur recently constituted its branch in Jaintia Hills, and elected office-bearers for the same.
According to a statement here, a gathering in this regard was held at Ialong Dorbar Hall, which was attended by representatives of the central body of the Synjuk, namely Erwin K Syiem Sutnga and Raphael Warjri. They were then joined by clan elders from across Jaintia Hills, representing over thirty clans. “Acknowledging the encroachment of non-indigenous communities in local affairs, particularly concerning folk culture and tradition, the elders passed a resolution. This resolution urges the Jaintia Hills district to propose legislation in the Council aimed at safeguarding the community from unfair practices by non-local entities,” the statement said.
Following the gathering, Khroo Lamsalanki Pariat was elected as president, Pyrkhat Shylla and D Donstan Khonglah as vice presidents, Hamkhian Dkhar as general secretary, Gremalin H Bareh as assistant secretary, Abutt Nelson Muksor as treasurer, among other executive members.
