Shillong: Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong says the police force cannot guarantee safety alone. He wants families and communities to step up. Public outrage surged after a recent stabbing at Nongmensong. Residents across the state now demand better security. Tynsong insists women deserve the right to move freely at night, yet he urges everyone to stay in touch with relatives when traveling late.
The government is currently ramping up anti-narcotics efforts. Officials blame substance abuse for a chunk of local crime. A multi-departmental mission led by retired IGP Francis Kharshiing is now targeting supply networks. Meanwhile, Meghalaya Police runs a dedicated unit to block drug shipments. Tynsong admits that winning this fight requires help from neighboring states because narcotics often flow across borders from abroad.
Critics point to the frequent transfers of Superintendents of Police in the Anti-Narcotics Task Force. Tynsong claims these are just routine administrative moves. He defends the staffing changes, saying, "They would not disrupt the fight against drugs."
