The Meghalaya government has instructed all deputy commissioners including West Garo Hills — to convene peace‑committee meetings with community leaders and appeal for calm after a protest prevented a former legislator from filing nomination papers for the elections to the Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC) slated to be held on April 10.
The state cabinet on Wednesday approved three rules which seeks to enhance the efficiency and transparency of the criminal justice system in Meghalaya.
Commissioner & Secretary in-charge Home (Political) Cyril Diengdoh on Friday informed that the government is planning to bring all 22 students, who are affected by the recent food poisoning incident at Mandya, Karnataka, back to Meghalaya.
Speaking to reporters, Diengdoh said, ”All arrangements are in place. We have had multiple review meetings with the deputy commissioners, who are responsible to conduct the elections. The security plans are in place. The deputy commissioners have identified the vulnerable and sensitive polling stations for which additional security forces are being deployed in consultation with the SPs.”

Polling stations and villages under KHADC and JHADC have been officially listed, with only minor amendments during delimitation. Everything happens within these boundaries,” Commissioner & Secretary in-charge of the District Council Affairs (DCA) Department, Cyril Diengdoh said.
