Unidentified individuals threw a petrol bomb at the home of Meghalaya 's Deputy Chief Minister Sniawbhalang Dhar on Friday.
His house is situated in Nongmynsong within the East Khasi Hills district.
He lodged a First Information Report ( FIR ) which led to an increase in security in and around his property.
Recently, individuals on motorcycles threw a petrol bomb at a police vehicle that was escorting Director of NEEPCO (Personnel) Major General (retired) RK. The incident took place at Demthring, located under the jurisdiction of the Madanrting police station, around 7.30 pm on Wednesday.
The Superintendent of Police of East Khasi Hills district, Rituraj Ravi, advised the public not to take the law into their own hands, warning that they will face legal consequences.
“We urge all peace-loving citizens not to take law into their own hands.
But if somebody does that, we have to go as per law and ensure they are brought to justice,” the SP said.
“Our position is very clear.
Committing a crime warrants justice for the individuals involved.
We are not investigating anyone's associations of any kind.
If there is a crime, there is a criminal and if there is a criminal, we have to go as per the law,” he added.
The Cabinet has approved a Rs 7,145.14 crore, 117.7-km access-controlled greenfield highway between Kanpur and Kabrai on NH-34 in Uttar Pradesh. The BOT toll project is designed to cut travel time from 3.5 hours to 1.5 hours, strengthen links to the Kabrai mining belt and Bundelkhand corridor, and lower logistics friction for freight, construction material and agricultural movement.
NHAI has launched Multi-Lane Free Flow tolling at Manoharpura Toll Plaza on the Delhi-Jaipur section of NH-48 in Rajasthan. The barrier-free FASTag and ANPR system matters because it cuts toll-stop idling on a busy highway corridor, but users now need proper FASTag balance and must clear any e-notice within 72 hours to avoid double charges.
India has reset windfall-linked export duties from July 1, 2026 by raising the levy on petrol exports to Rs 4 per litre while cutting diesel and aviation turbine fuel export duties to Rs 8.50 and Rs 7.50 per litre respectively. The move matters because it changes refining economics, export incentives and the downstream pressure points that can eventually shape domestic fuel availability, airline costs and broader transport pricing.
State-run oil companies cut the 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder price by Rs 183.50 from July 1, 2026 and reduced aviation turbine fuel by Rs 5 per litre to about Rs 110 in Delhi. The move offers relief to restaurants, hotels and airlines, but household LPG, petrol and diesel users are still waiting.
