Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaApril 14, 2021

The Khasi Jaintia Christian Leaders Forum (KJCLF) has urged the state government and the army authority to find a permanent solution to the problem faced by the public and residents of Mawshbuit village.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, KJCLF said it is greatly regrettable to note the unfortunate incidents caused by the restriction imposed by the Armed Forces on the movement of the public and local residents of Mawshbuit village which has resulted in violence on April 12.

It also added that such incidents involving the armed Forces and the public keep happening from time to time, not only in Mawshbuit but in other places also.

The Forum also noted that timely intervention by civil authorities had prevented the situation from escalating further, and calls upon the Armed Forces and the public to exercise maximum restraint so that violence is avoided.

“(We) call upon the concerned authorities including the Government of Meghalaya and the Armed Forces to find a lasting and permanent solution to these recurring problems and most importantly, to recognise the plight of the public who suffer because of these unfortunate incidents,” it stated.
