The High Court of Meghalaya has sought surprise checks on vehicles of the Army and paramilitary Assam Rifles for possible transit of drugs.
Hearing a public interest litigation (PIL) plea on Wednesday, a Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice W. Diengdoh said “teams of flying Army checkers” should be deployed along the drug transit routes to make surprise checks on Army vehicles that “are otherwise not subjected to checks” by the local authorities.
