SHILLONG: The meeting of the three Autonomous District Councils (ADCs) of Khasi, Jaintia and Garo Hills on Friday turned out to be inconclusive due to the absence of MDCs from Garo Hills.
Speaking to reporters here, KHADC Chief Executive Member (CEM) Teiñwell Dkhar said the meeting was held to discuss amendment to the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution before it is tabled in the Lok Sabha.
However, Dkhar said the discussion did not make much headway as the MDCs from Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC) were absent. “The GHADC MDCs could not attend due to unavoidable circumstances,” Dkhar said.
Stating that another meeting will be held amongst the three ADCs in the coming days, Chairman of the KHADC, PN Syiem, said the meeting held on Friday was inconclusive and no major decision was taken as suggestions from the GHADC will also have to be considered.
Syiem informed that there was a suggestion to call a meeting of the Forum of Councils under Sixth Schedule (FOCUSS) as well.
