Shillong, Dec 3 (UNI) Tribal Pnar villagers residing in Meghalaya have accused the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC) in Assam of illegally cutting down trees to construct roads in Salangand Mukroh to establish tea plantations.
In a letter to Meghalaya Deputy Chief Minister in-charge Home, Prestone Tynsong, on Tuesday, the Chairman of Mukroh Pyllun Dorbar Shnong Chilangki Phawa informed him of KAAC’s intrusion into the jurisdiction of Mukroh village, located under the Laskein C&RD Block and Barato Police Outpost in Meghalaya’s West Jaintia Hills District.
