PM, CM's effigies burnt protesting price rise
Margherita: The Satra Mukti Sangram Samity Margherita Regional Committee and the Tirap Jagun Regional Committee burned the effigies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma at NH 315 Block Tiniali Margherita in protest against sky-rocketing prices of essential commodities on Friday.
Nipon Gogoi, president of Satra Mukti Sangram Samity Margherita regional committee; Pappu Dutta, working president of Satra Mukti Sangram Samity Tinsukia district committee; and Prasad Bhattacharjee, executive member of Satra Mukti Sangram Samity Margherita regional committee were present at the meeting, in which all shouted against the failure of BJP led Government Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
"The BJP-led government, both at the centre and in the state, is busy creating beneficiaries. In Assam there are more than 85 Lakhs beneficiaries for which the BJP led government is willingly increasing prices on day-to-day life essential commodities. I demand that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma control the prices of essential commodities and look after the middle class and marginalized people of our state and country as they are the middle class people who suffer more than others," Gogoi added.

Normal life remains paralyzed on Friday in Tinsukia district following a 24 hour bandh called by the Tai Ahom Yuva Parishad in protest against the assault on one of their leader.Roads in most parts of the district remained completely deserted as vehicles refused to ply during this period. Shops and markets, schools and colleagues, banks and offices remained closed under impact of the bandh.CRPF jawans on Thursday assaulted Tai Ahom Yuva Parishad’s Digboi branch president Prashanta Buragohain at Digboi bereft of any reason.

According to allegation, the police have released Narayan Adhikary even after he was detained acting on the complaint of diesel theft from the residence of Sambhu Singh in the Segunbari area.It is alleged that police spared Adhikari only because of his comfortable relations with a circle of senior policemen apart from a few district administration officials.
