Meghalaya Tribal Council Asks Border Villages To Report Cross-Border Movement
The Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) in Meghalaya is asking village leaders to keep an eye out for people crossing the border illegally.
This is because the government in Assam is taking action against people they think are living there illegally.
The KHADC is worried that some people might try to cross into Meghalaya to avoid trouble.
Village leaders need to tell the authorities if they see anyone coming across the border, especially in villages close to the border between the two states.
KHADC urged village heads to report illegal cross-border movement.
The KHADC's directive is in response to Assam's crackdown on illegal settlers.
KHADC fears individuals might flee into Meghalaya.
Traditional heads must report any unusual movement.
The focus is on villages along the interstate boundary.
