TURA, Oct 5 – Heavily armed Garo militants belonging to the Garo National Liberation Army attacked a Forest department Range office in East Garo Hills district headquarters of Williamnagar late Monday night taking away seven weapons but leaving the office staff unharmed.
As many as 15 GNLA militants dressed in battle fatigues and armed with AK rifles crossed over from the nearby Simsang river to the Range office at Chidekgre, four kms from Williamnagar town and surrounded the Range office.
The militants forced all the inmates of the office into one room and confiscated their mobile phones. They also forced the night watchman to open the office and tried to break open the armoury that kept the rifles. When the watchman failed to open the weapon box the militants broke the lock and took away the seven weapons leaving behind three obsolete ones.
Among the looted weapons were three pump action shot guns and four Single Barrel guns (SBBL).
