Governor gives nod to delimitation to KHADC & JADC seats

Meghalaya Governor K K Paul has given his nod to the official delimitation rules for constituencies in the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council and the Jaintia Hills Autonomous District Council, officials said today.
These two autonomous district councils will go to poll next month after the state cabinet has approved of their 15-day extension when their term expires on February 16 while the term of the Garo Hills Autonomous District Councils has been given a six month extension.
These three autonomous district councils, having 29 constituencies and a nominated member in each, were formed under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution of India for which the entire state is under its purview.

Governor K K Paul has officially signed the amendment rules with regards to the delimitation of constituencies in these two autonomous councils last evening, official sources said.
The polls to the KHADC and JHADC will be held on February 24 while the counting of votes will take place on February 27, sources said.
