Meghalaya BJP Minister Asks Governor to Halt KHADC Service Licence Bill

A senior minister from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Meghalaya has formally appealed to the state Governor, urging him to stall the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) Service Licence Bill. The minister's intervention seeks to prevent the bill from receiving gubernatorial assent at this time.

The specific reasons for the BJP minister's request to halt the bill were not detailed in the initial report. However, the move indicates a point of contention regarding the legislation passed by the KHADC, which governs aspects of services within the Khasi Hills region.

Further details regarding the bill's provisions and the BJP's specific objections are awaited. The Governor's decision on whether to accept the minister's plea to withhold assent will be a key development.
