Call for revoking Ordinance on tribal chiefs

By The Assam Tribune

SHILLONG, Sept 14 - Several groups today took to the streets here demanding the Meghalaya Government to revoke the Ordinance aimed at empowering tribal chiefs and tribal institutions as it was �overstepping� into the domain of the Autonomous District Councils created under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution.

Members of the Hynniewtrep Youth Council (HYC) and eight other NGOs also threatened to intensify their agitation if the ruling Congress failed to revoke the Ordinance or did not refrain from drafting any laws for empowering traditional institutions in the State that could have a direct impact on the domain of the Autonomous District Councils. � PTI
