Dorbar Shnong Jaiaw Pyllun withdraws from Peace Committee
The executive committee stated, “A Peace Committee, as suggested, maybe constituted for which the Dorbar Shnong Jaiaw Pyllun will be too willing to be a part of. It is with this consideration that the Dorbar Shnong Jaiaw Pyllun withdraws itself from the present Peace Committee as constituted by the GOM Home (Political) Dept.”
The executive committee of the Dorbar Shnong Jaiaw Pyllun has withdrawn itself from the present Peace Committee constituted by the state.
It was stated that in a letter written by the executive committee to the Deputy Commissioner, East Khasi Hills District, and the Member Secretary, Peace Committee, Shillong, Meghalaya, on Wednesday.
“With regards to the inclusion of the Rangbah Shnong of the 5 (five) Dorbar Shnong of Jaiaw Pyllun as members of the Peace committee: though we highly appreciate this consideration it is felt that the Dorbar Shnong Jaiaw Pyllun can have a more meaningful discussion and contribute constructive suggestions/ideas towards building a better and safer city by involving themselves in a smaller and leaner Peace Committee, perhaps with members drawn from the Dorbar Shnong Jaiaw Pyllun, Lympung ki Hynriew Dorbar of Mawkhar, the Lympung Shiphew Dorbar of Lumdiengjri,” the letter said.
The Executive Committee of the Dorbar Shnong Jaiaw Pyllun, comprising the five dorbar — Jaiaw Laitdom, Jaiaw Langsning, Jaiaw Pdeng, Jaiaw Lansonalane, and Jaiaw Shyiap Lumpyllon — met on Wednesday to discuss the prevailing law and order situation in the city and particularly in the localities around Jaiaw.
The executive committee stated, “A Peace Committee, as suggested, maybe constituted for which the Dorbar Shnong Jaiaw Pyllun will be too willing to be a part of. It is with this consideration that the Dorbar Shnong Jaiaw Pyllun withdraws itself from the present Peace Committee as constituted by the GOM Home (Political) Dept.”
The dorbar shnong stated that the onus of bringing about peace and tranquillity lies with the government, even as the dorbar shnong has assured the necessary cooperation.
The executive committee has appealed to the state government to issue strict orders/instructions to the Meghalaya Police to restrain their personnel from entering any locality (shnong) without prior information/notice given to the rangbah shnong of the locality.
“On many occasions, police personnel when they forcibly enter a locality resort to highhanded action viz. destruction of personal property of the residents, brutally assaulting innocent bystanders and other unbecoming conduct. These kinds of actions should be stopped forthwith, for they create a deep fear psychosis in the mind of the people,” the committee stated.
The committee also mentioned that the long outstanding demand for the relocation of the Central Reserve Police Force camp located near the Mawlai bridge (the area where the camp is located falls under the jurisdiction of the Dorbar Shnong Jaiaw Laitdom) should be addressed at the earliest and that the camp is shifted and relocated away from civilian residential areas.
