The team members were recording the statement of various people at a room in Hotel Pinewood in Shillong. The team is likely to leave Shillong on Friday.
The statement of the father of one of the youths who was assaulted at Them ïew Mawlong was also recorded by the NHRC team as part of its investigation.
An exchange of words between a bus driver and a woman who is residing at Them ïew Mawlong over the parking of a bus led to the assault of the bus driver and two other persons by some persons residing in the area. This triggered violence at nearby Motphran and Mawkhar areas on May 31 night and revived the pending demand for shifting of the settlers from Them ïew Mawlong.

On Tuesday, the NHRC team visited Them ïew Mawlong and recorded the statements of some of the settlers including leaders of the Sikh community.
Sources said the NHRC sent the team after some Delhi-based organisations lodged a complaint with the NHRC, alleging that the move to relocate the settlers was a violation of human rights.
