ITANAGAR, Nov 13: The Arunachal Pradesh Union of Working Journalists, Arunachal Press Club, and Arunachal Electronic & Digital Media Association condoled the death of Parag Bhuyan, the Kakopathar senior correspondent of Assam-based news channel, Pratidin Time.
Media reports said that Bhuyan was knocked down by a vehicle near his house on NH 15 on Wednesday night at Kakopathar in Upper Assam’s Tinsukia district.

We call upon the Assam Police to conduct a fair and thorough investigation to ensure all those responsible are arrested and justice is delivered to Bhuyan’s family,” a statement said.
