Shillong, Oct 29: The Khun Hynñiewtrep National Awakening Movement (KHNAM) has accused the Executive Member (EM) in-charge of Trade in the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) of making a false and misleading statement during the recently concluded winter session.

According to KHNAM’s working president Thomas Passah, the EM claimed that trade gates were allotted based on individual applications. However, he said that a Right to Information (RTI) reply revealed that out of 16 applications, only four were allotted work orders, while six were given to non-applicants.

“We demand an explanation from the EM in-charge of Trade and urge for re-allotment of gates through a transparent process, including tender advertisement and open scrutiny,” Passah said.
