Meghalaya's 'most-wanted terrorist' shot dead in encounter
Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) chief Sohan D Shira, dubbed as Meghalaya's most-wanted terrorist, was shot dead in an encounter with security forces in East Garo Hills on Saturday. Anti-terrorism operations were intensified in Meghalaya after NCP candidate JN Sangma was killed in a militant attack last week. The GNLA was set up to demand a separate state of 'Garoland'.
