Rajnath Singh, Sarbananda Sonowal review security scenario in Assam

Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday reviewed the security scenario in Assam besides preparation to deal with any possible law and order situation which may arise after the publication of the final National Register of Citizens (NRC) on July 31.

A home ministry official said attended by Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal and top officials of the Union home ministry and the state government, the meeting presided by Singh in New Delhi took stock of the prevailing



situation in Assam which last week had witnessed a blast, suspected to be carried out by the banned insurgent group ULFA.

Chief Minister Sonowal told reporters after the hour-long meeting that the state government is extending all assistance for the NRC updating process and is committed to provide security to all citizens. 

He said no genuine Indian should be worried about the outcome of the final NRC.
