Gear up law & order: Rijiju to CM

Union minister of state for home Kiren Rijiju on Saturday asked chief minister Tarun Gogoi to strengthen the law and order machinery to ensure that militants are not allowed to monger any trouble.

Talking to reporters after his stock-taking meet with chief minister Tarun Gogoi in Dispur, Rijiju said that militant activities should not be tolerated and that Assam’s law and order break down would send a bad message from the north eastern region.

He said that the Centre would provide all assistance to the state government to deal with the situation.

Apart from the chief minister Gogoi, DGP Khagen Sarma and chief secretary JS Khusla were present in the meeting.
