Shillong, July 3: The Khasi Students’ Union (KSU) on Wednesday shut down banks and offices after they were found opening on the occasion of the Behdeinkhlam – a festival of the indigenous Pnar people celebrated every year.

The day has been declared as a holiday by the state government.

Activists of KSU went and closed down such banks and offices located in the different parts of Shillong for disrespecting the important festival of the indigenous people.

These include office of the food corporation of India (FCI) at Mawlai Mawroh, banks and private offices at Lumdiengjri, Motphran, Khyndailad, Laban, Laitumkhrah, Malki, Nongthymmai, Nongmensong and others.

A KSU leader said that the functioning of these institutions only shows that they disrespect the indigenous people of the state. He also warned all offices and institutions that failed to respect special occasions and festivals observed by the indigenous people.
