The Telegraph reports that two teenagers, identified as Brijil M. Sangma and Lakshish Sangma, were injured on July 25 in crossfire between Security Forces (SFs) and GNLA militants at Jogogre near Bajengdoba in East Garo Hills District when SFs raided a GNLA hideout. SFs stated that group of five militants, led by “area commander” Rangdat, were staying at the hideout. Police have recovered a 7.65mm pistol with four live rounds of ammunition and an empty cartridge from the hideout. The SFs have raided twelve hideouts of GNLA, after Counter Insurgency operations were launched in the last two months. The Shillong Times further adds that the ‘area commander’ Rangdat is the second in command of GNLA’s ‘northern command’ and a close aide of ‘area commander’ Pilliport D Shira.According to security outputs, the killing of non tribal labourers in West Garo Hills is being carried out to neutralize Police operations against militants, reports The Shillong Times on July 26. West Garo Hills Deputy Commissioner (DC), Pravin Bakshi stated “The spate of killings has a clear design to vitiate the communal atmosphere of Garo Hills and neighbouring Districts and precipitate a law and order situation wherein communal tension prevails. It is being done with the intent to gain strategically in terms of the current Police operations against militancy in Garo Hills. This has been clearly suggested by multiple security inputs and intelligence reports.” The killing of non-tribal labourer Saidul Islam on July 24 and another labourer on July 21 at West Garo Hills District may precipitate communal tension and law and order problems in West and South West Garo Hills Districts.
