An autonomous tribal council in Meghalaya has formed a coordination committee to prepare the ground to challenge the partial boundary deal with Assam in court.
The Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) constituted the committee on Tuesday with the representatives of five traditional Khasi tribal states called Hima. Each of these Himas have areas bordering Assam.
The KHADC is one of the three tribe-based councils in Meghalaya. The other two are the Garo Hills Autonomous District Council and the Jaintia Hills Autonomous District Council.
