Shillong, Sept 16: In a massive drive against shops operating illegally in Ri Bhoi district, the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC), along with the Khasi Students’ Union (KSU) and Hynniewtrep National Youth Front (HNYF), conducted a thorough inspection of trading licenses in the Khanapara and Byrnihat area of Ri Bhoi District on Friday.

Led by KHADC Chief Pyniaid Sing Syiem, other members included Executive Member (EM) Victor Rani, MDC Alvin Syiem, revenue officials, and KHADC’s Enforcement police. They identified over 40 shops in these areas that lacked proper Trading or Labour Licenses. As a result, the CEM of KHADC issued closure notices to more than 45 shops for non-compliance with licensing requirements.

KHADC also issued notices to some shops, requiring them to complete the necessary documentation within one week. Failure to do so would result in the suspension of their operations until they acquire all the required documents.

CEM Pyniaid emphasized the urgency of the situation and directed Enforcement Officers to take all necessary actions within the next week. Establishments that choose to ignore the notices and orders issued by KHADC will be compelled to remain closed until they conform to the necessary regulations.
