SHILLONG: Meghalaya police have shortlisted 10 ‘most-wanted’ militants operating in various parts of the state and announced cash reward of Rs 10 lakh for information on them.

In a statement issued here on Tuesday, the Meghalaya Police Public Relation Officer said that the cash award has been announced as a part of the ongoing counter-insurgency operations launched against various militant groups operating in the State.

“The police department seeks actionable intelligence against the most-wanted militants,” the statement said.

According to list provided by the police, most of the militants belong to the banned Garo rebel outfit, the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) and its splinter group, the Achik Matgrik Elite Force (AMEF).

The names of the informants, whose information would lead to the arrest of the militants, would be kept ‘top secret’, the PRO added.
