{ "title": "Meghalaya's Security Boost: Jungle Warfare School, Urban Training Facility, and New Police Station Get Green Light", "article": "In a significant move to bolster its internal security architecture, the Meghalaya government has approved the establishment of a Counter Insurgency and Jungle Warfare (CIJW) School, an Urban Warfare Training Facility (UWTF), and a new police station in the state. The CIJW School, to be set up in Baghmara, South Garo Hills district, will provide specialized training in counter-insurgency and jungle warfare to state police personnel, commando forces, and other special units. The facility aims to enhance operational readiness by equipping forces with skills tailored to forested and remote environments. The Urban Warfare Training Facility, to be established in SF-10, Mawiong, will offer realistic and scalable training modules, including close-quarter battle drills, hostage-rescue operations, and integrated urban surveillance. This move is expected to significantly enhance operational preparedness while reducing risks during real-time urban operations. Additionally, the state government has approved the creation of Byrnihat Police Station in Ri-Bhoi district to strengthen law enforcement in the rapidly expanding industrial and border area. The new police station will cover a jurisdiction that includes areas in Assam, ensuring better law and order management and faster response in a sensitive and fast-developing area. The approvals reflect a broader strategy to modernize policing, strengthen border and urban security, and build specialized operational capabilities across Meghalaya. Officials believe these measures will significantly bolster the state's policing and internal security architecture, making it more effective in tackling insurgency and maintaining law and order."
