Assam is on a ‘high alert’ in the wake of the fresh wave of unrest in neighbouring Bangladesh, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Monday (December 22, 2025).
Mr. Sarma, speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a programme in Guwahati, said the State Government is closely monitoring the developments in Bangladesh.
‘’We have seen that in Bangladesh, Hindus are being subjected to atrocities and burnt alive... those who are currently in power in Bangladesh have been talking about including northeast India in their country,’’ the CM said.
