Tribal Khasi-Pnar villagers from the disputed Block I area want to be part of Meghalaya

Shillong, Sep 5 (UNI) Tribal Khasi-Pnar villagers from the disputed Block I area under the administrative control of Assam on Monday urged the Meghalaya government to denotify a 1951 notification through which Block I was transferred to Assam.
In a petition submitted to Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong, the villagers under the banner Labang Nanpyllut Pangam Raliang Area Committee (LNPRAC) said that the then Governor through the 1951 notification transferred the Block 1 area, which was a part of the erstwhile United Khasi-Jaintia Hills district, in an “arbitrary manner.”
“In an act that can be described as arbitrary, oppressive and unconstitutional the area known as Block 1 of the United Khasi and Jaintia Hills district were forcibly excluded and tagged with the then Mikir Hills Autonomous district council,” LNPRAC argued in its petition to the government.
