Meghalaya Violence | Cherry Blossom Festival In Shillong Cancelled

The Meghalaya government has decided to cancel the state’s Cherry Blossom Festival. The Shillong Literary Festival, part of the Shillong Cherry Blossom Festival 2022, has been cancelled due to the violence and killings of four people, including an Assam forest guard, in Assam’s West Karbi Anglong district near the border with Meghalaya on Tuesday morning.

Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma declared an emergency on Tuesday, along with village chiefs and religious leaders, and announced the cancellation of the Shillong Literary Festival’s second edition. The Meghalaya Government strongly condemns the incident where the Assam Police & Assam Forest Guards entered Meghalaya & resorted to unprovoked firing.

GoM will take all steps to ensure that justice is served & action is taken against those responsible in this inhuman act.Taking To Twitter CM Sangma wrote, “As a mark of respect & mourning for the deceased, the State Govt has decided to cancel all official festivals including the Shillong Cherry Blossom Festival Hon’ble Home Minister, @LahkmenR has reached the spot of the incident & FIR has been registered by the @MeghalayaPolice.”

I express my deepest condolences to the bereaved families of the deceased- Sh. Thal Shadap, Sh. Nikhasi Dhar, Sh.Sik Talang, Sh.Tal Nartiang, Sh. Chirup Sumer and the Assam Forest Guard.

May these precious souls rest in peace.
