Amid heightened security and restrictions, residents across the town have come together in prayer meetings, appealing for peace and a swift return to normalcy. Local community leaders, church groups, and civil society organisations organised special prayer gatherings, urging people to maintain calm and avoid spreading rumours. Many citizens expressed concern over the impact of the violence on daily life, businesses, and the safety of families.
“We want peace in our land. Violence will only divide our communities,” said one resident during a prayer gathering in Tura. Meanwhile, the administration has stepped up security measures across sensitive areas in West Garo Hills, with additional police forces deployed to maintain law and order. Officials have also urged citizens to rely on verified information as efforts continue to restore complete normalcy in the region.
