 NONGSTOIN: To eradicate militancy in Shallang area and to make people aware of the ill effects of militancy, the Synjuk Nongsynshar Shnong Ri Lyngngam Area, consisting of 45 villages, organized a militancy insurgence and overloading awareness programme at Umdang, 14 km, from Shallang.

It may be noted that Shallang area is a hub of insurgent activities. Cadres of various militants outfits like GNLA, LAEF and ANVC have been seeking refuge in the area in the past and there have been several encounters between police and militants in the areas.

However, with the strengthening of the police force in the area and the untiring effort of personnel of Shallang Police Station, militant activities are at an all-time low in the coal-rich areas of Shallang.

The awareness programme held on Tuesday was attended by around one thousand locals from different villages.

The programme was also attended by the Officer in charge of Shallang Police Station D Mawlein, ex-MLA of Mawthengkut, R Mawsor, Riangdo S Puwein SDO PWD (R) and the leaders of the Synjuk.

Speaking about the police-public relation and the issue of insurgency, Mawlein said most of the people living in Shallang area have doing a great job as far as cooperation with the police is concerned.

Referring to the motto of the Police department ‘Help Police to help you’, Mawlein encouraged the people of Shallang to help the police for the security of the people in that area.

Puwein stressed on overloading of trucks which is still prevalent in the area from Shallang to Rongjeng and from Shallang to Nongstoin, which goes against the order of the Supreme Court.

“The Supreme Court has given the order to all the trucks not to carrying load beyond nine tonnes because of the bad road condition,” Puwein said.

Synjuk President K Rashir urged the District Administration to depute a District Magistrate in Shallang for checking the overloading of trucks.

Rashir also expressed his happiness over the peace and social harmony which has been restored in Shallang.

“The unswerving efforts of the police has helped normalcy to slowly limp back here. It is believed that the militants have quit Shallang area and have moved on to other pastures,” he said.

The meeting also discussed the issue of entry of non tribals in Shallang to work in the coal quarries without any valid documents and the subsequent difficulties faced by the police to maintain the law.
