SHILLONG, May 13: Meghalaya BJP spokesperson and retired IPS officer, Mariahom Kharkrang on Monday expressed concern over the frequent cases of arson attacks targeting police vehicles and government properties.
Kharkrang said the citizens of the state are concerned over the law-and-order situation. “These attacks brings a sense of insecurity in the minds of the people and paints a negative picture about the state,” he said.
