TURA: Chief Minister Mukul Sangma on Monday expressed concern over the “eroding internal security” of the country where the “minorities have been made into a vulnerable group”.
He was addressing a gathering after the inauguration of Hallidayganj Police Station in West Garo Hills in the presence of Speaker A.T.Mondal, Sports & Youth Affairs Minister, Zenith Sangma, Forest & Environment Minister Clement Marak and others.
The chief minister asserted that the government has been able to reverse the trend of insurgency and restore peace and normalcy, particularly in the Garo Hills region due to the priority given by it in strengthening the internal security apparatus.
He said that creation of new police stations across the State was part of the government’s process of bringing administrative reforms to create an enabling environment for all the people particularly to the youth and marginalized sections of the society.
Considering its strategic location on the inter-state border with Assam opposite to Hat Singimari, the chief minister expressed hope that the Hallidayganj police station would benefit the most vulnerable sections of the society.
