Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaJune 11, 2024

Deputy Chief Minister incharge Home (Police) Prestone Tynsong on Tuesday said the law will take action against illegal activities by the proscribed Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC).

Speaking to reporters, Tynsong said, “The law will take its own course not only for HNLC but anybody for any criminal activities (committed).”

He also appealed to the HNLC to stop all its criminal activities and come back for peace talks. “…my only appeal to any concerned let us not continue committing any illegal activities or criminal activities and come forward and work together with the government and everybody for the safety and growth of the state of Meghalaya as a whole.”

Tynsong said, “In fact, we have already clearly requested all the citizens of the state, whoever in case if they received demand notes or received threat or whatever in any form to kindly inform to the police force so that action can be taken immediately.”

Asked, the deputy CM said that the government is very clear that it is totally against any criminal activities.

Tynsong said, “On the other hand, I still appeal, I still say again and again that the door for negotiation, for discussion across the table like we have done before, is still open for the members of the HNLC. So once again I would like to request all of them to come back for talks and let us sit down across the table like we have already started so why not we also continue the talk till the end.”
