On Saturday, minority tribal leaders in Meghalaya formed the Regional Council Demand Committee (RCDC) to strengthen the push for a regional council representing indigenous minority tribes. The RCDC, led by Dr. K.C. Boro (Chairman), Ananda Koch (General Secretary), and Promod Koch (Advisory Board Chairman), aims to work closely with the Meghalaya Indigenous Minority Tribals Forum (MIMTF), which has submitted several memoranda to authorities advocating for this demand. The RCDC emphasizes being a public body, free of political affiliations, and represents tribes such as the Hajong, Koch, Rabha, Boro-Kachari, Mann, and Karbi. Fifty-four members attended the meeting where the RCDC was officially formed.
