PASIGHAT, Jul 9: In yet another incident of attack on Arunachal people and vehicles passing through Assam, a winger passenger vehicle plying between Itanagar and Pasighat was attacked by some people at Dhemaji town market, Assam on the National Highway on Monday evening at around 4.30 pm. 
The vehicle was coming from Itanagar and heading for  Pasighat in the morning when some people attacked the driver and damaged a portion of the window for no valid reason, informed the passengers who were visibly worried at the  unpleasant happening.  The reason is said to be for simply blowing the  horn as Dhemaji market is often jammed. 
After the news of the incident went viral, Adi Mising Baane Kebang (AMBK) swung into action and appealed its Assam wing, Takam Mising Porin Kebang (TMPK)  to  initiate steps in this connection. Later, Dhemaji police escorted the vehicle up to Jonai near Assam-Arunachal boundary as a safety measure.

Adi Mising Baane Kebang,  Adi Baane Kebang,  Takam Mising Porin Kebang,  All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union and all other organizations have strongly condemned the incident saying that people of Arunachal are often made easy target and are taunted in Assam.  The recent incidents of torturing of Arunachal people by forcefully taking away their money at Bogibeel bridge along with the Dibrugarh incident etc are common in Assam which need to stop permanently, said the organizations. 

 Meanwhile, two persons of Moran and Deori community were arrested today by Dhemaji police in connection with the case and more persons are likely to be arrested, informed,  Secretary General of AMBK and ABK Okom  Yosung who is continuously monitoring the case by engaging TMPK of Assam to lead the case for  the culprits’ arrests. On the other side, team TMPK led by Dhemaji Unit President, Harichandra Kaman and Secretary Dharmendra Noroh met the Superintendent of Police, Dhemaji this afternoon and submitted a petition for early arrest of all those involved  in the attacks.
