Kidnapped Hyderabad engineer rescued in Meghalaya | Zee News
Shillong: A kidnapped engineer of a Hyderabad-based road construction company in Meghalaya was rescued on Wednesday after a gunfight with his abductors in West Garo Hills district, police said.
Wassem Ahmed, an assistant engineer of BSC-C&C (JV) road construction company, was abducted at gun-point nine days ago by United Garo Security Force (UGSF) militants from Samanda-Jengjal junction in East Garo Hills district.
Ahmed, 25, who is from Rajouri in Jammu and Kashmir, is involved in the construction of Shillong-Nongstoin-Williamnagar-Tura highway.
"We rescued Ahmed on Wednesday evening from Gabil area after an exchange of fire with his abductors," Inspector General of Police G.H.P. Raju, operations in-charge, told IANS.
He said the abductors left Ahmed after security forces retaliated.
"We do not know if any of the abductors were injured during the exchange of fire, but a manhunt is on to nab them as we have got some lead on their identities," Raju said.
Meghalaya Police have launched a coordinated rescue operation for the last five days to mount pressure on the UGSF militants to release Ahmed, which also led to the arrest of six UGSF militants.
Meanwhile, police remained clueless about the whereabouts of an Intelligence Bureau (IB) officer abducted by suspected Garo militants in Meghalaya's South Garo Hills district, bordering Bangladesh.
On September 24, militants of the A'chik Songna An'pachakgipa Kotok (ASAK) outfit kidnapped Intelligence Bureau officer Bikash Singh and cloth merchant Kamal Saha at gunpoint from an area between Ampangre and Panda reserve forest, police said.
Though, ASAK has denied its involvement in the kidnapping, police maintained that the needle of suspicion was particularly on the group.
"There is no development in this case. We have no clue at all about their whereabouts but the operation is on to trace and rescue the abducted officer and the other person," Raju said.

Border Roads Organisation
There is some deficiency in Border Roads Organisation (BRO) regarding staff, budget and equipment, however, this deficiency has not affected the construction of ICBRs. Government has identified 73 roads as strategic Indo-China Border Roads (ICBR). Out of the 73 roads, 61 roads have been entrusted to BRO with a length of 3417 km. 22 roads of length 707.24 km are completed. There are certain delays in execution of road projects mainly due to the following reasons:
· Delay in Forest / Wildlife clearance.
· Hard rock stretches.
· Limited working season.
· Difficulties in availability of construction material.
· Delay in land acquisition.
The revised completion schedule of 39 ICBRs is as under:
o 2016 - 5 Roads.
o 2017 - 8 Roads.
o 2018 - 12 Roads.
o 2019 - 8 Roads.
o 2020 - 6 Roads.
Government has taken the following measures to expedite the pace of road projects:
· States of Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Tripura have constituted the Empowered Committee to resolve issues related to land acquisition, forest / wildlife clearance, allotment of quarries etc.
· Outsourcing has been allowed to augment capacity of BRO.
· Long Term Roll On Works Plan (LTROWP) and Long Term Equipment Plan (LTEP) have been approved.
· Enhanced financial and administrative powers have been given to the executives of BRO.
This information was given by Minister of State for Defence Dr. Subhash Bhamre in a written reply to Dr. Shashi Tharoor in Lok Sabha today.

Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Pema Khandu on Friday inaugurated a bridge on the Siang close to the China border. (Source: DIPR/Arunachal)
http://indianexpress.com/article/in...from-china-border-as-it-enters-india-4530510/
The Siang – as the Tsangpo is called as it enters India from China to later become the Brahmaputra in Assam – on Friday got its first bridge closest to the international border with Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Pema Khandu inaugurating a newly-constructed steel suspension bridge at Kodak near Tuting. The 210-metre bridge made of steel suspended from six steel wires from two towers on each bank at an estimated cost of Rs 3.89 crore, also consigned to pages of history a traditional hanging bridge made of woven bamboo and cane that people had used to walk across the river for the past several decades. People from Zido, Ngaming, Tasigaon, Simuge and Singa – all villages on the left bank of the Siang would now be able to drive cars to their respective villages as also commute to the sub-divisional town of Tuting by road.
Speaking on the occasion, chief minister Pema Khandu rued the fact that years of isolation due to lack of connectivity in the area bordering China in Tuting sub-division of Upper Siang district had forced people to migrate to urban centres. “Our government is committed to construct more roads and bridges to improve connectivity to the remote border villages,” Khandu said.
Tuting, about 35 km from the India-China boundary in Upper Siang district, is about 630 km by road from Itanagar, and remains cut off from the rest of the world due to frequent landslides during the monsoon months. It is also a major take-off point for white-water rafting expeditions that Arunachal Pradesh has started aggressively promoting in the past few years.
Khandu also expressed displeasure that Singa, the last frontier village on the Indian side of the international boundary, was not yet complete. “I am informed that the road to Singa, the last frontier village on the Indian side some 94 kms from Tuting, is yet to be completed. Our government will make it sure that the road is completed very soon,” he said.
Local legislator and rural development minister Alo Libang informed the chief minister that about 30 villages in the sub-division, mostly close to the international boundary, were yet be connected by roads.
Deputy chief minister Chowna Mein on the other hand said numerous roads were coming up fast across the state and work on the Trans-Arunachal Highway was also progressing well. “However, these road projects will not be complete till bridges are constructed at all required places. As our state is endowed lavishly with rivers, hundreds of bridges will have to be constructed,” he said.
