 SHILLONG: The Breakaway faction of ANVC-B said that the violence that erupted in Tura following the molestation of a local girl by non tribal labourers should not be flared up as all culprits have been arrested.

ANVC-B leader Doang D Shira on Saturday also appealed all citizens to unite in restoring peace in Garo Hills even as the outfit condemned the act of the labourers.

“What happened on Friday was unfortunate as it has deeply affected the co-existence of different communities in the area, resulting in assault and deaths of some innocent people,” outfit added.

The ANVC-B said that though the District Administration’s quick intervention saved the day as it could not spread out to other areas, but tension is still brewing in some parts as many labourers are still scared, hiding and on a run, not being able to contact their families and friends which is creating fear on the counter part.

“Every citizen is requested to help those who are scared to be handed over to the police for safe transferring to their families,” ANVC-B added.
