Shillong: Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma on Wednesday revealed that he had received information about groups and individuals allegedly planning to burn his residence and attack his family amid the ongoing tensions in the Garo Hills region.
In a video message, Sangma said he was advised by security officials to leave his residence and relocate to a safer place as part of security protocol after the threat was reported. However, the Chief Minister said he chose not to leave his home and declined the suggestion, stating that he was not afraid.
