SHILLONG : The opposition Voice of the People Party (VPP) has taken a significant step to strengthen its presence in Garo Hills by forming an adhoc committee aimed at expanding its base and addressing issues of corruption in the state.
Speaking at a meeting held in Tura on Friday, VPP chief Ardent Miller Basaiawmoit expressed satisfaction over the party’s entry into Garo Hills. He stated that the move comes in response to the growing demand among the people for a credible political alternative in the region.

As part of the new structure, Khronolaikh Marak has been appointed as president of the adhoc committee, while Ronald Sangma will serve as secretary. The executive committee members include Ryan S Marak, Joba Marak, Tengsim Momin, Jim Reeves Momin, and Thinker Marak.
