While lauding the Chümoukedima police personnel for their swift and immediate action in apprehending the culprits, the WSYF urged the law enforcement agency to award stringent punishment fitting for a delinquent criminal.

The WSYF further urged the respective district auto drivers’ union heads to meticulously monitor the activities of registered drivers and their legitimacy, ensuring they abide by their work ethics for the safety and security of the citizens.
