Guwahati, June 10 (IBNS): In view of the prevailing situation especially in the aftermath of the killing of two artistes from Guwahati at Panjuri village in Assam’s Karbi Anglong district on Friday evening, Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Sunday held a high level meeting at his official residence in Guwahati in presence of Chief Secretary TY Das and Director General of Police Kuladhar Saikia.

The meeting took stock of the prevailing situation besides holding a threadbare discussion on all aspects of law and order in the state.

Chief Minister Sonowal asked DGP Kuladhar Saikia to ensure that the police force maintain constant vigilance on all activities and put spanner on any canards likely to vitiate public order and peace in the state.

Referring to the killing of two young artistes, he maintained that the culprits should be brought to book and no leniency should be exhibited in dealing with the incident.

The Assam CM however, was informed that inquiry into the incident is going on right direction and a few arrests related to the killing have been made.

Sonowal also said that the police should be on their toes to defeat any evil agenda of rumour and trouble mongers.
