Special session of N C Hills autonomous council called

Assam Governor P B Acharya has called a special session of the N C Hills Autonomous Council on October 17 after receiving a letter from its executive member Prankanta Warisa that chief executive member Debojeet Thaosen has lost confidence of the majority of the House.
According to official sources, Prankanta Warisa stated on behalf of 18 members of the Council that the present administration, led by CEM Debojeet Thaosen of the Congress, has lost confidence of the majority of the Council.
Warisa in his letter urged the removal of the present Executive Committee and formation of new Executive Committee.
Prankanta Warisa has the support of 17 executive members to form a BJP-led council as the ruling Congress, headed by Debojit Thaosen, was reduced to a minority when seven Congress EMs, including Prakanta Warisa, joined the saffron party recently with 11 other EMs who had earlier joined the Dima Hasao district BJP, making the N C Hills Autonomous Council BJP majority, political sources said.

The NCHAC has total 30 executive members and of them 28 are elected and two nominated.
