Shillong: Meghalaya chief minister Conrad Sangma has strongly condemned the recent brutal assault on a woman in West Garo Hills district, assuring the public that strict measures will be taken against those responsible.

The Meghalaya chief minister emphasized the importance of adhering to legal procedures.
