Shillong, October 1, 2025 – Bah Brightstarwell Marbaniang, MLA of Mawlai Constituency, visited Lum Bangla in East Jaintia Hills on Tuesday to review concerns related to law and order in the area.
Lum Bangla, located around 20 km from Khliehriat headquarters, has multiple residential clusters and scattered settlements that have witnessed occasional violations of law and order.
According to reports, the Superintendent of Police (SP) of East Jaintia Hills had sought to meet the MLA regarding the situation. However, when Marbaniang visited the site, the SP was reportedly unavailable, delaying their discussion on enforcement strategies.

The MLA underlined the importance of coordination between political representatives and law enforcement agencies to ensure public safety. Local residents also expressed apprehension that a lack of timely coordination could hinder efforts to prevent unlawful activities in the district.
Despite the missed meeting, officials indicated that the SP’s initiative to engage with the legislator reflected a positive move toward improving governance and addressing security concerns in East Jaintia Hills.
