New Delhi: The central
government Monday reviewed the security situation in Assam and
took stock of relief and rehabilitation measures for those
affected by the clashes between the Bodos and the Bengali speaking
Muslims that have left at least 86 dead.
Union Home Secretary R.K. Singh reviewed the situation in the
relief camps in Assam with state Director General of Police J.N.
Chaudhary and Principal Home Secretary Shailesh here.
According to a home ministry statement, the number of relief camps
have come down from 340 to 218 as on Aug 27 and the number of
people living in the relief camps has also reduced to 2.3 lakh
from 4.5 lakh since ethnic violence between Tribal Bodos and
Bengali speaking Muslims broke out in the northeastern state July.
A central team had visited the riot affected areas of lower Assam
including Kokrajhar, Dhubri and Chirang to review the condition of
relief camps and the ongoing rehabilitation efforts Aug 21-23 and
has submitted its report which has been reviewed by the home
secretary.
Though home ministry officials claimed the number of people living
in the relief camps has been coming down, sources said the number
has remained at over two lakh for the past week as many of them
are still apprehensive of their security and have not gone back to
their homes.
During the meeting, health care measures, water supply and
sanitation situation in addition to safety and security in the
relief camps was also reviewed, said the release.
