Protecting illegal traders KHADC CEM warns Khasi women

Shilling: The Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) Chief Executive Member Pyniaid Sing Syiem has warned Khasi women against shielding non-indigenous traders who do not possess trade licenses to run their business within the Councilโ€™s jurisdiction in Meghalaya.

Syiem said that he was dismayed to see Khasi women claiming ownership of shops that belonged to non-Khasis who did not have trade licenses.

He said that this was a huge cause of concern for the KHADC and that the jain-kyrshah, a traditional drape worn by Khasi women, should not be used to shield illegal traders.

He recalled that during a recent inspection, it was found that some non-Khasis did not have trade licenses.

He said that those who did not have a trade license issued by the district council, especially non-Khasis, could not operate any business.

Syiem urged Khasi women to stop shielding illegal traders and to cooperate with the KHADC in its efforts to regulate trade in the region.
