Talking to The Assam Tribune, Cachar SP Mughdha Jyoti Deb Mahanta said that even as 90 NSKs out of 160 NSKs have been earmarked as 'sensitive' centres, paramilitary forces have been adequately deployed to keep an eye on untoward developments. Police officers have been put on alert and there is no reason to worry, he stated.
Meanwhile, allying the simmering fear among people, Cachar Deputy Commissioner Laya Madduri said �no one should feel that heavens will fall apart or immediate action would be resorted against people who might not feature in the supplementary list of applicants who had filed claims and whose claims were accepted, those who were objected against but found to be eligible after hearings and those who were excluded in the draft exclusion list but found eligible for inclusion after hearings. Government is ready to help the genuine citizens who might feel that their rights have been violated. Also, social media sites are being closely monitored and any objectionable comment which might flare up sentiments shall be dealt with hard hands.� She added to inform that the district administration had held talks with people from different strata of society and urged them not to panic under any condition.
