The state government has deployed heavy security, including personnel from the Rapid Action Force (RAF), at Khyndai Lad following the Khasi Students’ Union’s (KSU) announcement to hold a sit-in protest in the area.
Besides state police personnel, including the Special Operations Team (SoT), CRPF personnel have also been deployed around Khyndai Lad.
The heightened security measures are aimed at preventing the KSU from proceeding with the agitation after the East Khasi Hills District Administration denied permission for the protest.
