Shillong, Sept 22: While Meghalaya and Assam Government are on the job to solve the long pending border dispute, Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) Chief Executive Member (CEM) Titosstar Chyne on Wednesday was appalled at how the government has not included them in the regional committees.

The regional committees have been formed and each is headed by a Cabinet Minister to get a ground report consulting stakeholders and submit a report. Earlier, the Autonomous District Council (ADCs) were part of the meetings during the initial stage but in the recent meeting he has claimed that they have not been consulted.

The ADCs have a vital role to play concerning the border row since it has a record and documentation of the territories of the state, he said.
