Shillong, Nov 13: Hundreds of protesting villagers from the 21 villages of Mawshynrut area along with members of the pressure groups were prevented to enter the premises of Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) office here on Wednesday.

The villagers had marched from Umshyrpi bridge to the KHADC office in protest against  inclusion of their villages in the Rambrai-Jyrngam constituency.

The 21 villages fall under three polling stations of Misei, Langdongdai and Mawsmai.

These villages were earlier under Mawshynrut constituency but have now been included in  Rambrai-Jyrngam following the delimitation of constituencies carried out by the KHADC.

Earlier, the Joint Action Committee (JAC) of Misei, Mawsmai and Langdongdai polling stations had unanimously resolved to boycott the upcoming elections to the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC).

Earlier, the JAC had submitted a representation to the council stating that the residents of 21 villages falling under the three polling stations would like to remain with Mawshynrut constituency.

It said the decision to attach the aforementioned polling stations to Rambrai-Jyrngam was against the wishes of the people.
