The Chief Executive Member of the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council, Pyniaid Sing Syiem, yesterday donated a garbage truck to the Nongrah locality.
Syiem informed that the garbage truck, costing Rs 17 lakh, has been sanctioned under the KHADC scheme through the 15th Finance Commission grant.
He also announced that Nongrah would soon get two wider black-topped roads.
The CEM further reminded that besides giving certificates to the Syiems and Sordar, the KHADC will now give its recognition to the Rangbah Dong, Seng Kynthei and Seng Samla so that they are recognised by law.
He also stressed that the residents under the jurisdiction of the KHADC no longer need to register their land with the government but with the Council.
