Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma has drawn attention to evolving dynamics in the region influenced by recent changes in Bangladesh. This shift has begun to impact the security landscape of the state, he disclosed on Tuesday.
Addressing the media, Sangma noted sporadic occurrences of 'militant-like' activities within Meghalaya. These incidents, he compares, often operate more like small-time dacoit groups rather than organized outfits. The chief minister emphasized the importance of recognizing the revised security context linked to developments across the Bangladesh border, without divulging further national security details.
Director General of Police, Idashisha Nongrang, previously tried to communicate this nuanced scenario, but reporting inaccuracies fueled public speculation. Currently, the police are meticulously verifying numerous intelligence inputs, especially concerning unsubstantiated reports of new militant recruitment attempts. Sangma assures continued monitoring of the critical state, emphasizing the vigilance prompted mainly by shifts in Bangladesh.
