Tura: Some miscreants believed to be GNLA sympathisers torched the house of Gaonbura of Soenang Rabha at 1.30 am on Tuesday. However, quick action on the part of the family members to douse the fire on time saved the day.
Police sources claim that GNLA cadre Piliport and his party are behind this arson which is aimed at diverting the attention of security forces.
The Officer in Charge Mendipathar has been asked to deploy CRPF in the localities where there are mixed Garo-Rabha population and to call for peace committee meetings immediately.
GNLA cadres operating in the Mendipathar and Resubelpara areas are intentionally fomenting communal tension between the Garos and Rabhas so that police attention is diverted towards maintaining communal harmony, police sources said.
