The Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) will convene a special meeting to discuss the implementation of the Administration of Elaka Amendment Act 2023 and the Khasi Social Custom of Lineage Amendment Act 2023.
The meeting will be held at Polo Ground on January 18 from 10: 30 am onwards.

“This meeting is crucial and definitive in clarifying the implementation of the new laws introduced by the KHADC that aim to expand and uphold the traditions and heritage of the Khasi-Jaintia community,” he said.
