The Sonja Wildlife Rescue Center is mourning the tragic loss of Lanosha, a beloved 9-year-old male gibbon, whose escape on November 5 ended fatally when he encountered a high-voltage power line. This is the first incident of its kind for the centre, since its inception 15 years back.
The entire East Garo Hills district zonal unit of A’chik Holistic Awakening Movement (AHAM) has formally announced mass resignation citing “improper functioning and misused powers” by the organization's leadership.
Earlier this year, a tragic incident occurred in Gondenggre village where a Western Hoolock Gibbon male was electrocuted on an 11 KW high voltage power line.
Various Garo organizations from South Garo Hills staged a protest rally against the poor road condition and demanded early construction of the national highway that connects Gasuapara to Baghmara, the district headquarters.
Several organisations from South Garo Hills on Friday held a peace rally at Baghmara to condemn the recent rape of four minor girls from South West Khasi Hills.
