TURA: Garo Hills was under total shutdown from dawn to dusk on Tuesday following a bandh call given by the militant group A’chik Matgrik Elite Force (AMEF) which called for the closure over the death of their militant chief in a police encounter over a week ago.
No untoward incident was reported from any part of the five districts of Garo Hills during the strike but all educational institutions and business centres remained closed and people stayed indoors.
Police sources, however, informed that some villagers reported about a truck being fired upon by unidentified men in the Nongshram area of West Khasi Hills bordering East Garo hills District.
However, when police inquired about the incident they could not locate the truck nor find anyone.
