Two Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Mahila Morcha (women’s wing) members were among 19 persons arrested by the West Garo Hills district police for attacking the Meghalaya Chief Minister’s Secretariat in Tura, which local organisations want to be declared as the State’s winter capital.
A mob laid siege to the CM’s Secretariat and pelted stones late Monday evening when Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma was three hours into a meeting with leaders of the organisations to discuss the issues of the winter capital and the proper implementation of a 51-year-old job reservation roster system with retrospective effect.
