Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaOctober 16, 2024

A one-day training-cum-interactive workshop session for Gaon Buras and Gaon Buris of Keyi Panyor district of Arunachal Pradesh was held at Yachuli by District Administration on Tuesday, in the presence of DC Keyi Panyor Shweta Nagarkoti, CO Yachuli Taba Milka, CO Deed Sylvia Koyu, and officials from forest and police departments.

The district has a total of 198 GBs, out of which 86 attended the session, including PI Yachuli Nich Yong and PI Paramputu Khoda Raju. The training session was conducted by officials, reiterating the roles, responsibilities, powers, and duties of GBs in their jurisdiction, guided by the Assam Frontier (Administration of Justice) Regulation 1945 and AP Civil Courts (Amendment) Act 2022. A brief awareness address on the importance and conservation of wildlife and nature was also emphasized.

DC Keyi Panyor highlighted the importance of GBs in maintaining law and order at the village level, especially in a tribal society. Additionally, she drew attention to the fact that Keyi Panyor is a new district that does not have properly demarcated boundaries yet, for which the role of GBs will be paramount in the finalization stage. The DC also urged the GBs to help administration in implementing its various government schemes at the grass-root level, provide authentic facts and data when called upon and the significance of confirming the veracity of applicants before validating certificates specially STCs at the village level and to always maintain the sanctity of their red coats.
