The Shillong Times reports that in a shocking incident relating to militancy and extortion, five coal labourers were reportedly shot dead by armed militants in the afternoon of May 20 in retaliation for the quarry owner s failure to pay up extortion money on time in Nangalbibra region of South Garo Hills District. The armed group is said to have served demand notes on coal mine owners throughout Nangalbibra region in the month of April and amounts ranging from INR 500000 to INR 10 million has been demanded by the outfit. The militants came to the quarry campus and pushed the labourers to one corner before opening fire on them from their automatic rifles resulting in the death of five workers and injury to many more. The full report on the attack and the number of casualties is expected only by May 21 (today) morning due to the remoteness of the region which has no proper vehicular road and mobile telecommunication network. Meanwhile, primary suspect remains the newly formed United Achik Liberation Army (UALA) headed by one Norrok X Momin. The UALA was formed after Norrok X Momin parted ways with the Breakaway faction of Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC-B) to form the new outfit.
