Two people were killed after security forces opened fire to disperse violent mobs in Meghalaya’s West Garo Hills district in the early morning of March 10, as tensions escalated over the nomination process for the Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC) elections.

The incident took place in the Chibinang area, where clashes broke out between tribal and non-tribal groups, a report by news agency PTI said. 

West Garo Hills Superintendent of Police Abraham T Sangma said the firing occurred when security forces tried to disperse an unlawful gathering.
