He said that the 14-15 people claimed to be executive members of the Dorbar Shnong whereas no such executive committee or executive members exist in the traditional practice of Shella village.
“Members are those who assist the Secretary of the Dorbar Shnong in signing the agenda to be placed before the Dorbar and to obtain the quorum to hold the Dorbar Shnong,” he said.
Sanmiet said the 14-15 people called a Dorbar which was opposed by the residents of Shella on August 20.
