Security Forces (SFs)
seized 100 stickers of
the Hynniewtrep National
Liberation Council (HNLC)
militant formation, meant
for public distribution
on the outfit’s 25th Jubilee
celebration, at Jowai
in West Jaintia Hills,
reports Shillong Times.
A senior Police Officer
of West Jaintia Hills
informed that the stickers
were seized from a Tata
Sumo plying passengers
from Shillong to Jowai.
“Our personnel were conducting
regular checking on the
National highway when
they recovered a suspicious
packet and when the packet
was opened the stickers
were found inside. The
stickers read as follows-
Long Live HNLC, Awake,
arise and Sacrifice, Long
Live HNLC. Further, SFs
arrested the Sumo driver
and were interrogating
him to establish his link
with the militant outfit.
Meanwhile, Central Government
was not keen to hold talks
with Garo National Liberation
Army (GNLA) on the demand
of separate Garoland in
western part of the State,
a Union Home Ministry
official said August 11,
reports Shillong Times.
Further, State Government
too appeared not to be
in a hurry to accept GNLA’s
offer for peace talks. |
