1,000 jawans to be deployed in Shillong amid violence
The Centre has agreed to deploy around 1,000 security personnel of paramilitary forces in Meghalaya's Shillong amid violence and communal tension in the capital. Police were forced to use tear gas against protestors after they toppled police vehicles and assaulted a cop on Sunday. The clashes were triggered after a Khasi bus conductor was assaulted last week.
