Shillong, Aug 11: The Civil Society Women’s Organization (CSWO) on Wednesday condemned the IED blast at Laitumkhrah market.

In a statement, CSWO president Agnes Kharshiing said the incident had nearly harmed even children and injured at least a woman, and shook many houses nearby, due to this cowardice act of terror.

“In a civil society the public should strongly condemn this sort of attack and should cooperate with the investigators so that the Police can find the perpetrators so that the people cannot live in fear from some terror threats and a civil society cannot promote violence,” Kharshiing said.

Meanwhile, the CSWO has urged the government to give free treatment to the injured and should ensure protection of the people in the State of Meghalaya.
