Two persons, identified as Sudir Mahanta and Anwar Hussain, were injured in a grenade attack at a market in Shallang in West Khasi Hills District on May 2. The explosion took place at around 6pm when two suspected to be Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) cadres lobbed two grenades at the market place, Police said. However, one of the grenades did not explode. “It could be the handiwork of the GNLA militants to create fear psychosis and divert security agencies’ attention in the wake of the combing operation against them,” an intelligence official said.

The increase in activities of the GNLA militants in Ri Bhoi District is troubling traders engaged in stone quarries and stone crushing units. City-based traders running the stone quarries complained that their business had been affected in the past four months as many owners have been asked to pay up by the GNLA. “There are at least 15-20 stone quarries in the Maikhili area in Meghalaya and many owners have been asked by the GNLA to pay money. As a result, owners of the units and their managers are scared to visit the plant. Even labourers, too, are scared to work fearing attacks. As a result, business activities have been affected in the past few months,” a businessman in the city who runs a stone quarry in Ri Bhoi said.

Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma made it clear that his Government would not hold any dialogue with the proscribed Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) The Sentinel on May 16 reported. The Chief Minister said, “After the people’s defiance, the government’s decision not to succumb to their pressure tactics has become more pronounced.” Speaking about the hardship encountered by the people of Garo Hills due to the 144-hour GNLA sponsored bandh (shut down) in the first week of this month, Sangma stated, “Our government cannot turn a blind eye to the sufferings of the people created by such groups. The government will not go for any dialogue with the GNLA because we have seen militancy is more of an industry in the State.” He substantiated his points by illustrating the emergence of multiple militant outfits in Garo Hills after the suspension of the ceasefire between the Government and the Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC). Even as he spoke about the multi-pronged approach to bring about development and “to stop the youths from being lured by the fantasy of militancy”, he asserted that the fight against militancy will carry on through police operations and other developmental works.

Meghalaya Police commandos attacked and destroyed one of the largest militant camps belonging to the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) near Sobokgre village of East Garo Hills in a fifteen minute encounter in the morning of May 26. Commandos on the search for the GNLA camp came under sustained fire from ‘sentries’ positioned at lookout posts outside the camp area just after 10 am. The militants used heavy weaponry firing several rocket propelled grenades against the Police and the commandos also retaliated with 2-inch mortars to blast their way through. However, there were no casualties from either the Police or the militants’ side. “The camp was almost like an entire village closeted as can be seen from its huge size. We believe it to be their general headquarters and Sohan D Shira was present in the camp during the encounter,” said Police.
