College girl’s murder reaches Assam Cabinet
The Hindu
Assam government asked top police officer to fast-track probe for exemplary punishment
An unusual issue topped the weekly Assam Cabinet meeting on Thursday – the murder of a college girl by her estranged boyfriend. A few decisions such as tackling the impact of climate change, removing the bottlenecks in the implementation of Jal Jeevan Mission and reopening higher secondary to postgraduate classes from September 1 were taken at the meeting headed by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. But the hacking of Nandita Saikia, a student of a three-year degree course at the Moridhal College in northeastern Assam’s Dhemaji by a non-teaching employee of the college a few days ago took much of the meeting space.More Related News
