Govt issues shoot-at-sight orders at night in Dhubri

Guwahati, June 13 (UNI) The Law and order situation of Dhubri has forced the government to issue shoot-at-sight orders at night, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Friday this while interacting with newsmen, and added that a communal force is active in Dhubri to disrupt peace.
He said that the government has issued shoot at sight orders in Dhubri. The Chief Minister further added that the Rapid Action Force and CRPF will be rushed to Dhubri to contain the situation.
"The law and order situation was a little challenging here for the last week. After the Eid al-Zuha, somebody kept a severed head of a cow in the Hanuman temple. Peace committees are formed involving Hindus and Muslims. However, it was repeated the next day," he said while adding that there were also cases of stone pelting at night, he said.
The chief minister further added that a Bangladesh-backed organization, Nobin Bangla has also done posterering in Dhubri demanding inclusion of Dhubri district in Bangladesh.
He said that these posters indicate that a communal force backed by Bangladesh is active in Dhubri, and they are working to destabilize Dhubri.
On June 9, the Dhubri District Administration has to impose a prohibition order under BNSS 2023 in Dhubri town following the likelihood of breach of peace and public tranquility in areas falling under the Dhubri police station due to communal tension.

Tension gripped Dhubri town following the recovery of banned meat, including a severed cow head, from the premises of a Hanuman temple in the town's Ward no 3.
This triggered widespread protests in the town, and the locals demanded immediate action against the culprits. Although the police and senior district administration officials reached the spot immediately, they faced resistance from the locals, forcing them to impose restrictions.
Although the restrictions under BNSS were lifted the next day, tension continued in the district.
