Shillong, April 14: DGP LR Bishnoi has said shortage of manpower is affecting the efforts of the police to check illegal.transportation of coal.
Speaking to reporters on Friday on the unhappiness of High Court of Meghalaya about the functioning of the police, Bishnoi said, “We are going as per the high court orders wherever the mistakes are pointed out we are trying to plug the loopholes but again you know the area is so much and the police strength is not proportionately adequate to dominate each and every inch of the land of the state so sometimes you know through the jungle route some may indulge in transportation of illegal coal etc for that also we are trying to dominate it by the patrolling.”
