Shillong, Feb 25: Tensions ran high in some areas of Meghalaya as post-election unrest broke out following the Autonomous District Council (ADC) election results.

A scuffle was reported in Mawlai between supporters of VPP candidate Eddieson Kharumnuid and independent candidate Teibor Pathaw, but timely police intervention prevented further escalation.

In a separate incident, a mob allegedly backed by VPP supporters attacked the house of a former headman in Narwan village, East Jaintia Hills. Additional police forces have been deployed to maintain peace in the affected areas.
