Guwahati: Patriotic People’s Front Assam (PPFA) has strongly condemned the incident where four police personnel were injured in a mob attack last Thursday evening in Lakhimpur of north-eastern Assam. The group of ‘men in uniform’ from Naoboicha police station was targeted by a mob gathered in a mosque at Dakshin Pandhowa locality. Incidents of stone-pelting also partially damaged the police vehicle.
The police team was on duty to enforce lockdown claimed in view of novel corona virus infection across the country after receiving inputs that a large number of people gathered there after the end of Iftar.
Police personnel appealed to everyone to maintain social distancing norms, but suddenly a group of goons attacked the team. PPFA urges State chief minister (also in charge of home portfolio) Sarbananda Sonowal to take note of the incident and nab the culprits under the law as the police personnel were performing their official duties during Covid-19 pandemic that has already snatched away the lives of thousand people in India and infecting millions in the world.
