DIBRUGARH, Feb 2 � The local media fraternity here, with support from a few local organisations, took out a protest march from the Sadar Police Station to the office of the Deputy Commissioner to protest the alleged manhandling of two scribes in Guwahati recently by police personnel.
The protesting media persons carried banner and placards as they raised slogans against the guilty policemen. The protesters criticised the police authorities for failing to hand exemplary punishment to the guilty. Leaders of ethnic organisations, including Krishak Mukti Sangram Samity, also slammed the police authorities during the short demonstration staged in front of the office of the Deputy Commissioner, before submitting a memorandum to the Ministry of Home Department through the Deputy Commissioner.
