Shillong, April 18: Former chief executive member of the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC), H.S. Shylla, was disqualified as the member of the council today for “anti-party activities”.

The KHADC chairman, M. Pyrbot, in an order issued today said since Shylla, a Congress member, was involved in anti-party activities during the recently concluded Assembly elections, so he was disqualified.

In the last Assembly elections, Shylla did not campaign for the official candidate of the Congress, Waibha Kyndiah, who contested from Nongkrem constituency in East Khasi Hills.
