Kolkata: Claiming the
situation in riot-hit areas of Assam was "under control", Chief
Minister Tarun Gogoi Sunday said those who had fled to West Bengal
were now returning.
"There is no influx of people (to West Bengal)... All are
returning (to Assam)," Gogoi told the media on the sidelines of
Pan IIT global meet here.
On reports that some people from Assam were residing in northern
Bengal following violence in his state, Gogoi said: "I don't know
if anybody is staying in north Bengal. They are coming back now."
Three Bodoland districts - Kokrajhar, Chirang and Dhubri - earlier
this year witnessed violence between ethnic Bodos and
Bengali-speaking Muslims, leaving over 100 people dead and over
four lakh homeless.
Gogoi claimed the situation in Assam was now "under control" and
people who fled were returning back.
"Today I have doubts if anybody is in north Bengal. Give us the
list if you have the exact number," he added.
