Assam Sends a Strong Message – No Tolerance for Disruption in Dhubri
As Assam navigates through a sensitive communal climate, Dhubri district has become the focal point of firm state intervention. Assam Director General of Police (DGP) Harmeet Singh has directly addressed the public, assuring that no individual or group will be allowed to disturb the harmony and peace of the region. Following recent disturbances and rising concerns about potential communal provocation, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma personally visited Dhubri, accompanied by the state’s top police official. The message is clear: Assam’s progress and peace will not be compromised, and those attempting to instigate religious or social disharmony will face the full force of the law.
Let’s break down what the DGP’s statement means for the current situation in Dhubri, and why this approach reflects Assam’s new governance stance on law, order, and communal stability.

DGP Singh made it clear that no one will be allowed to disrespect any religion or place of worship. He reiterated that the Assam Police are committed to preserving inter-religious harmony and taking the strictest legal action against any attempt to incite violence or social unrest.
Importantly, the DGP revealed that he has personally met with delegations from all communities and urged them to internally identify and report elements trying to sow discord. This community-police partnership model is a key strategy to prevent the spread of misinformation and isolate radical miscreants.
He added, “They have all promised to work and they are working together with the administration.” This cooperation not only strengthens community trust but also signals a shift toward proactive policing in sensitive zones like Dhubri.
The DGP’s public reassurances align with the state’s broader mission under CM Himanta Biswa Sarma — a zero-tolerance policy for communal provocation and firm administrative control over law enforcement to ensure Assam’s development remains uninterrupted.
Assam Shows the Way in Handling Communal Flashpoints
DGP Harmeet Singh’s statement from Dhubri is more than just routine policing — it is a strong message that law and order in Assam will not be held hostage to fear or fanaticism. By combining swift political leadership, community dialogue, and robust policing, the state has effectively contained tensions and prevented escalation.
At a time when many states struggle to balance security and sensitivity, Assam’s clear stance stands out as a model of decisive and inclusive governance. As the DGP himself said — “There is complete peace” — and maintaining it will remain a shared responsibility between the government and its people.
