Inspired by archery games in neighboring countries, the indigenous game of Teer is popular in Meghalaya. Winning bets on the game has become so lucrative that people have gone to great lengths to fix the outcome. This has left many people devastated and broken.

The game is played weekly, and bettors predict the score of the arrow shots to win. However, the game is manipulated by a few individuals, who have managed to get their hands on the keys to the boxes where the arrows are kept. These individuals lock up the boxes and then shoot the arrows to ensure that the predicted number of arrows miss the target.

People are aware that the game is rigged, but it has become a part of life for many in the state. Despite the awareness, they continue to play, fueling suspicion that they are either involved in the rigging or are comfortable with the status quo. The government must step in and crack down on these manipulations to protect people from financial ruin.

Otherwise, the Teer game will continue to rob people of their hard-earned money and savings.
