Shillong, Jan 12: The Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) has formed its Public Accounts Committee (PAC) with former chief executive member (CEM) Titosstarwell Chyne as its chairman.
The PAC was constituted in the recent winter session of the Council as per recommendation of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India, which stated: “It is recommended that KHADC may constitute PAC to take time bound action on the audit observations pointed out in the Audit Reports to ensure financial discipline and good governance in the conduct of the affairs of the KHADC.”
The CAG reports in respect to the district council are prepared under Paragraph (4) of the Sixth Schedule for submission to the governor, who shall cause them to be laid before KHADC.
Though the audit reports in respect of KHADC for 1970-71 to 2012-13 had been placed before KHADC, action taken on the observations made in these audit reports had not been intimated (in June 2022)
