Guwahati: On Saturday, a conflict between two groups of people belonging to two different religious sects erupted in the western Assam town of Dhubri, which borders Bangladesh.

As a group of people vandalized stores belonging to a specific community in the town, police used lathi-charge to bring the situation under control. Tarun Gogoi, the chief minister who also handles the home ministry, claimed the situation had been brought under control. Gogoi expressed concern that communal forces, including Hindu and Islamic fanatics, were active in the state and attempting to create violence.

The communal riot in Dhubri erupted when a Muslim youth was assaulted on Friday evening after some unidentified miscreants threw meat in front of a Hindu temple in the town earlier that day.

"The incident in Dhubri, which erupted today into a communal clash before being brought under control by the police, are the work of fundamentalist forces," Gogoi added. In the state, communal forces are active. There are both Hindu extremists and Islamic organisations in the area. To keep such elements at bay, the authorities maintained a constant surveillance."

Despite the fact that police intervened and immediately brought the situation under control, the situation deteriorated on Saturday morning when hundreds of members of one neighbourhood came to the streets to protest the assault on the two teenagers on Friday. Many protestors were injured as a result of police use of baton charges. To prevent the violence from spreading, the government imposed Section 144, which outlaws gatherings of more than 10 persons in the whole area. So far, 19 people have been detained for inciting violence.

As the situation deteriorated at Kalowal Bazar area inside the police station limits, a curfew was enforced from 1 p.m. today till further instructions, according to District Deputy Commissioner Nazrul Islam. He went on to say that there had been allegations of communal forces attempting to disrupt the state's Eid-uz-Zuha celebrations. "Despite the fact that these forces wanted to cause communal violence during Eid on Frida, the festival went ahead without a problem due to the security forces' efforts and the people's cooperation," he stated.

The CM cited the annual report of the Ministry of Home Affairs, which said that the general security situation in the state had improved, except for a few incidents, and claimed that the overall security situation in the state has improved.
