Shillong Jan; 28: Meghalaya Cabinet Minister Marcuise N. Marak has strongly condemned the circulation of a poster allegedly warning members of the Garo community to vacate their land, describing it as an act of intimidation that threatens peace and harmony in the state.

Assuring prompt action, Marak said the district administration of West Garo Hills has been informed and has initiated measures to identify and proceed against those responsible.

“As representatives of Meghalaya—but first as citizens and as members of the Garo community—I strongly condemn this act of intimidation and threat against our land, our people, and our peaceful coexistence,” Marak stated.

He reaffirmed that Meghalaya has always stood for harmony, mutual respect, and unity among all communities, regardless of religion or caste, and emphasised that attempts to spread fear and division would not be tolerated.

“Such attempts to spread fear and division have no place in our society. Meghalaya has always stood for harmony, mutual respect, and unity among all communities, and we remain firmly committed to these values,” he said.

The minister added that the district administration is maintaining strict vigilance to ensure that those behind the “provocative and unlawful act” are identified and brought to justice.

Marak also appealed to the public to remain calm and united, urging citizens to place full faith in the government, administration, and the rule of law.

“I urge everyone to remain calm, united, and vigilant, and to place full faith in our Government, administration, and the law to protect our people and our land,” he said.
