Police on the job to crack on terror outfit

SHILLONG, APR 12: Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Tuesday said that the police department is working overtime to crack on the “Lawei Ba Phyrnai” that is claiming to be a terror outfit and has issued threat to plant series of bomb attacks on educational institutions.

 

After reviewing the law and order situation in the state, Sangma told reporters that he had taken updates during the meeting held with the special Director General of Police Idashisha Nongrang.

 

“I cannot share all the details (of the meeting) but what is important is that we are working very seriously on this entire situation not just from technology point of view but also from the point of view of law and order and steps are being taken,” he said.

 

He said the state government and the police and home department are taking every situation seriously adding “anything related to law and order, even an email that comes in for us it is a serious matter.”

 

“There is no question of the state government taking that lightly. So we are on the job and the department is working very hard and over time to crack this particular case,” Conrad said.

 

The chief minister however said that the government still has to see the validity of the seriousness of this threat in terms of the actual threat that is there.

 

“Therefore, we are doing all kinds of background checks and ensuring from every angle and aspect we don’t leave any stone unturned,” Conrad said as he assured the citizens of the state.

 

The chief minister also pointed out that such incidents had also taken place in other states. There have been situations where there are emails but nothing more than that, he said.
