SHILLONG: The state government has imposed night curfew in areas under Pynursla Civil Sub Division, falling within five kilometres of the International Border with Bangladesh.
Speaking to media persons, Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong said that the government would take a call on Saturday on whether the same can be extended in all the 443 km of International Border with Bangladesh.
