DIBRUGARH, July 22: Hundreds of protestors from the Assam Tea Tribes Students’ Association (ATTSA) and Assam Chah Mazdoor Sangha on Monday took out a protest rally against the prevalence of intoxicating substance outside the Assam Medical College and Hospital (AMCH) campus.
The protesters holding placards and banners raised slogans to stop intoxicating substances found outside the AMCH campus and Jalan Nagar area.
The rally started from Jalan Nagar tea garden playground, and it passed through AMCH roads.
Recently, a youth Kamolo Sonar was brutally thrashed to death by a 12-member gang at Alubari area. The youth was thrashed near an illegal liquor shop. The prevalence of illicit liquor, ganja, drugs, and other intoxicated substances have created a nuisance atmosphere in that area.
“The easy availability of illicit liquor, drugs, and ganja in Jalan Nagar tea garden area and outside the AMCH should be stopped immediately. We urged the district administration to take strict action against the persons who are involved in such criminal activity,” said a protester.
He said, “The atmosphere in Jalan Nagar tea garden and outside AMCH campus have become very bad because of the easy availability of intoxicating substances. The district administration should start a massive crackdown to free the area from illegal activity,”.
“The place becomes a den of criminal activity, and all types of illegal activities happen in the area. The criminals takes the chance because their is not street light in that particular area and during evening hours, the place have become safe haven for criminals,” said Lakhindar Kurmi, secretary of Dibrugarh district, ATTSA.
Kurmi alleged, “The police have failed to curb such illegal activity because they are involved with such criminals. The prevalence of drugs, ganja and illicit liquor are growing in Dibrugarh due to support of police,”.
