Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaFebruary 23, 2024

Deputy Chief Minister in-charge Home (Police) Prestone Tynsong on Friday said the state police will ensure re-grouping by the disbanded Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) does not happen in the Garo Hills region of the state.

Speaking to reporters, Tynsong said, “Police force is very much proactive and we will make sure that re-grouping does not happen.”

He said that the police are yet to know whether the news on the GNLA-R is true or false. “But what I am trying to tell you 24×7, police forces are always ready and we are proactive to any such, be it the news or be it the intention of maybe a few groups of people or maybe some young boys who wanted maybe to have that luxury of having a new group or something. We are alert and then we will not at all sleep and we will make sure that such re-grouping does not arise,” the deputy CM said.

He claimed that the police intelligence report is fully strengthened. He said, “So please leave it to us but let me assure as I said it again re-grouping will not at all happen and we are not going to allow that.”
