Meghalaya: Jaiñtia Hills Autonomous District Council slams West Karbi Anglong DC over claims on Khanduli

The Jaiñtia Hills Autonomous District Council (JHADC) Chief Thombor Shiwat on April 24 alleged that the statement made by Karbi Anglong DC over claims of Khanduli lies in the jurisdiction of Assam is very provoking. 

Last week, West Karbi Anglong DC Krishna Baruah claimed that Khanduli village belongs to Assam on the basis of documents present with the Karbi Anglong Autonomous District Council (KAAC).
