Conrad Sangma demands security for East Garo Hills villages

Member of Parliament Conrad K Sangma today demanded more security cover for several villages in East Garo Hills after the proscribed Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) militant group unleashed terror and attacked the villagers recently.
"I have spoken with the Chief Secretary K S Kropha to ensure that security cover is given to a number of villages which have come under attack of the GNLA," Conrad said.
A number of villagers were also attacked by underground outfits primarily as they felt the villagers were giving intelligence inputs to the police, he said.
"The state government should ensure that villagers feel safe and secure and that normalcy returns to the affected villages," the president of National People's Party (NPP) said.

One person has died and several others injured in the incident which took place earlier this month in at least three remote villages, he added.
