SHILLONG, March 31: Rajya Sabha MP WR Kharlukhi on Monday underscored the vital role of traditional heads such as the Rangbah Shnongs in society, acknowledging their selfless service in fostering community unity and governance.
Speaking at the inauguration of Nongkseh’s newly constructed community hall, Dr. Kharlukhi highlighted that despite the lack of financial incentives, Rangbah Shnongs remain the backbone of grassroots administration, ensuring the well-being and progress of their communities.
It may be mentioned that the inauguration of the community hall marked the realisation of a long-held aspiration for the people of Nongkseh.

He said the community hall’s project completion fulfills a long-standing dream of the community and acknowledged the pivotal role played by the government in facilitating the process.
The inaugural event was attended by Toshan Marwein, Block Development Officer (BDO) of Mylliem C&RD Block, Daniel Thangkhiew, Officer on Special Duty (OSD) to the Chief Minister, representatives from the Shastri Memorial Dispensary, local leaders from Nongkseh and Lummawbah, and local residents.
