NONGPOH, AUG 16: A Bolero belonging to the forest department’s range officer Francis Nongpoh was set ablaze by the masked miscreants after entering the office compound of the forest department located at Byrnihat in Ri-Bhoi district at around 2 pm on Friday. According to Ri-Bhoi police at least ten unknown miscreants entered into the jurisdiction of forest department (CTI) office and directly went about setting the Bolero (ML 01 -1838)belonging Nongpoh on fire.
