TEZPUR, Oct 2 - An FIR has been lodged at the Tezpur PS following the desecration of St. Don Bosco�s statue by some miscreants in the Bishop House here on the bank of the river Brahmaputra on Saturday night by some miscreants.

Reacting to the incident, Anthony Ekka of Tezpur Don Bosco High School informed this correspondent that a complaint has been lodged at the Tezpur PS and the district administration urged to immediately arrest the culprits involved. �We will wait for action expected to be taken by the administration.
