Action will be taken against scribe's attackers: Minister

Meghalaya Home Minister James K Sangma today assured the Assembly that action will be taken against miscreants who hurled a petrol bomb at the residence of Shillong Times editor Patricia Mukhim.

Mukhim was home when two unidentified men stopped by her residence and lobbed the bomb at her house around 8.30 pm on Tuesday.

Replying to a call attention motion of Independent MLA Lambor Malngiang, the home minister said, "The government would like to assure the members of this House, the members of the electronic and print media and the people of the state that the government and the police are making all efforts to trace the culprits and bring them to book."
