Khasi community leaders in Meghalaya have called on the state’s Chief Minister to halt the proposed KHADC land amendment, citing lack of proper consultation. The amendment would affect tribal land rights.
Khasi bodies, including the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council, have formally urged Meghalaya’s Chief Minister to block the proposed amendment to the Khadakdhara Agricultural Development Corporation (KHADC) land policy. The amendment would allow the corporation to acquire tribal land for development projects without the customary consultation process. Critics argue that the lack of consultation could lead to displacement of local communities and loss of ancestral lands. The state government has not yet responded to the demands, but the call has intensified pressure on the administration to reconsider the proposal.
