He said, “Rapid Action Force (RAF) and CRPF personnel will be deployed in the district. I have asked the SP to arrest all the criminals in Dhubri, against whom there are non-bailable warrants,” he said.

He said that all those who have taken the law will be severely dealt with.

“Earlier during Bcrid, a part of people consumed beef, but this time thousands of cattle have been brought from West Bengal and a ‘new beef mafia’ has emerged in Dhubri, who bought thousands of animals before the festival,” Sarma said. CM said, “I have ordered an inquiry about this. I have instructed the officials that they have started this cattle trade.”

He said that next year, he himself will come to Dhubri on the day of Eid and will remain the next day.

Sarma said, “We cannot allow a part of the community to make such a disturbance. Our government will not tolerate it.” On Friday, Dhubri police said that 22 people have been arrested so far in connection with unrest in the city.
