SHILLONG: Meghalaya Governor Tathagata Roy today has approved Latiplang Kharkongor as the new Chief Executive Member of the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC).
In a letter through the Deputy Commissioner of East Khasi Hills District, Matsiewdor War, the Deputy Secretary to Governor, A Lakiang said, “I am directed to inform you that Governor has approved the election of Latiplang Kharkongor as the new Chief Executive Member of the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council.”
On Saturday, Roy declined to accede to the State government’s request for imposing Administrator’s Rule by the Conrad Sangma-led government.
Four-time KHADC member Latiplang Kharkongor was elected unopposed as the new Chief Executive Member (CEM) after the combined NPP & UDP-led United Democratic Alliance boycotted the election of the Chief Executive Member (CEM).
