The Chief Minister in his address said it was his joy and privilege to have had the opportunity to provide a police station for Damal Asim which was a long cherished dream of the people of the region, adding that there were people from the region who had abandoned farming and other activities and had gone looking for better opportunities due to pressures of militancy and insecurity they felt in their own backyards.
  However, in the recent years they have returned home to continue their trade of plantation and farming as they felt more secure than before and with the setting up of a police station, their morals and sense of security have also increased, he said. Sangma also talked about the difficulty the officers of the state were facing due to insecurity and threats of militancy, which he said would now decline due to the addition of more police stations and security being provided so that officers feel safe to discharge their duties.
