SHILLONG: The Indian Air Force (IAF) said on Saturday the controversial poster reading ‘Trespassers will be shot’ is not a threat but a “warning and information”.
The Defence PRO said these signboards, which are as per existing guidelines, are displayed outside all air force installations to prevent trespassing and are without any prejudice to any particular region or state.
“The village heads have already been sensitised and prior intimation has been sent to the SP East Khasi Hills,” the PRO said.
Earlier, the FKJGP, Upper Shillong circle wrote to the East Khasi Hills deputy commissioner seeking her intervention in the matter. The posters read, ‘Trespassers Will Be Shot’ and ‘Trespasser yn siat’ in Khasi.
