Amidst the row surrounding illegal mining and transportation of coal in Meghalaya, Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong on Thursday sent out a strong message saying that the government would fix responsibilities on Deputy Commissioners and Superintendent of Police if they fail to act tough against the menace.
