A senior police officer said the situation is ‘a bit tense but under control’.
The deputy commissioners and magistrates are discussing the matter, he said.
“The Ri Bhoi SP talked to DCP Guwahati, and the police teams from both states are deployed to avoid any law & order problem. We are keeping a watch”, the officer added.
Curiously, the development comes after the meeting of both the Assam and the Meghalaya Chief Ministers- Himanta Biswa Sarma and Conrad Sangma- on August 16 to secure peace in the border.
