TURA: Another cadre of the GNLA who was part of the 6th batch of recruits has surrendered without arms before East Garo Hills Police on Wednesday.
Superintendent of Police of East Garo Hills, RTG Momin informed that Tengrak M Sangma (22), alias Adram and son of Poson N Sangma of Dimugre under Chiading police station gave himself up at Williamnagar. Tengrak M Sangma had joined the militant outfit in 2014.
