The peace committee formed by the state government and headed by the Deputy Chief Minister, Prestone Tynsong will also hold its first meeting today.

In the wake of the killing of former HNLC leader, Cheristerfield Thangkhiew in an 'encounter' with police in the wee hours of August 13 last the law and order situation deteriorated in the region.
The hostile situation led to an unprecedented curfew in the area from 8 PM on August 15 while mobile internet services were suspended in four districts of East Khasi Hills, West Khasi Hills, South West Khasi Hills and Ri Bhoi.
