Place: Shillong | Agency: PTIThe police are on high alert following information that a group of militants of the banned Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) have sneaked into Meghalaya to carry out subversive acts.
State home minister HDR Lyngdoh said that the police have specific inputs about the intrusion of some militants into the capital city from Bangladesh.
"They are planning to strike at crowded places. But the police are on high alert. All precautionary measures have been taken to thwart any subversive attempt," Lyngdoh said.
A massive security blanket has been spread across the state, particularly in the capital city, while the BSF has launched Operation Bharosa along the international border to prevent ingress of militants.
"We have intensified patrolling and are presently conducting combing operations in the outskirts of Shillong and other places where we feel the so-called HNLC cadres may take refuge," East Khasi Hills SP AR Mawthoh had said yesterday.
BSF sources said extra forces have been moved to the international border to strengthen vigil.
