Police detained several Raijor Dal leaders during a protest at Guwahati’s Janata Bhawan, demanding clearer flood‑relief measures.
Earlier today, police detained a number of Raijor Dal leaders who had gathered at Janata Bhawan in Guwahati to protest the state government's handling of flood‑relief distribution. The demonstration was part of a broader row over the adequacy and transparency of assistance provided to flood‑affected families in Assam.
According to local reports, the protesters blocked the entrance of the building and raised slogans demanding a more systematic approach to relief allocation. Law‑enforcement officials intervened, citing concerns over public order, and took the party leaders into custody.
The detained leaders were later released on bail, while the party reiterated its demand for a transparent mechanism to ensure that relief reaches the most vulnerable communities without delay.
