Police arrest 38 in Dhubri post Chief minister's visit

Guwahati, June 14 (UNI) Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday said that 38 people have been arrested overnight in connection with the Dhubri beef incident.
The Chief Minister visited the western Assam town on Friday and reviewed the law and order situation of the district.
On Friday, the government has also brought the Senior Superintendent of Police, Hailakandi, Leena Doley, as the Senior Superintendent of Police, Dhubri.
The Dhubri town in Assam witnessed tension for the last week after prohibited meat and a severed cow head were recovered from a Hanuman temple in the town.
The Chief Minister visited the town and assessed the on-the-ground situation, holding a high-level meeting in Dhubri with DGP Harmeet Singh, Additional Chief Secretary Ajay Tiwari, and other senior officials of the state administration.
Sarma visited the temple site and interacted with members of the temple committee and residents. He inspected the temple and its surrounding areas and took stock of the deployment of security personnel.
He assured government assistance for the development of the temple.
Taking a stern view of the nefarious elements attempting to vitiate the situation, he instructed the police to take strict action. He also emphasized the need to identify those responsible for orchestrating the unrest.
The Chief Minister firmly stated that no individual or group would be allowed to weaponize the incident involving the prohibited meat to create social discord.
Following the outcome of the meeting, the Chief Minister ordered the deployment of the Rapid Action Force (RAF) along with additional security forces in Dhubri to help normalize the situation.
