Meghalaya: Congress withdraws support from NPP-Led coalition in KHADC

Shillong: The Congress has withdrawn its support from the National People's Party (NPP)-led Executive Committee (EC) in the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) in Meghalaya.

The Congress had been part of the EC since June last year, after the collapse of the United Democratic Party-led EC.
