TURA:
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) supporters assembled at the party’s Tura office and staged a protest against the arrest of the party’s state vice-president Bernard Marak, on July 30.
Around 50 party workers and supporters shouted slogans against the police and demanded removal of Tura SP Vivekanand Singh Rathore and Deputy Commissioner Swapnil Tembe.
Notably, former chairman of the now disbanded Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC) Dilash Marak was also participated in the protest.
Reportedly, the party tried to stage dharnas across the Garo Hills, especially outside the offices of the Deputy Commissioners and SPs, but were denied permission.
