SHILLONG: For the second time in two months, the security of the State Secretariat was breached  after Hynnewtrep Youth Council (HYC) members on Friday morning barged into  the premises raising  eyebrows about the efficacy of the security arrangement in this all-important nerve centre of the state administration.

East Khasi Hills SP Davis Marak after the incident said that the police would now strictly enforce the entry and exit of all the persons entering Secretariat except the Ministers and the officers.

He said that any persons who wants to enter the Secretariat now would have to show identity card or pass to enter the Secretariat complex.

The District Police has also written to the District Magistrate to impose Section 144 CrPC in and around the Secretariat.

According to Marak, the HYC members did not enter the Secretariat in a group but came in ones and twos.

It may be recalled that on June 4, a group of hawkers entered the premises of the Main Secretariat after breaking the lock of the entrance gate and shouted slogans and the group had intended to meet Chief Minister, Conrad K Sangma during the height of protest at Motphran.  However, the breach of Secretariat security was downplayed by the Chief Minister.
