Assam Police said the state Education Department will start a portal to facilitate sharing of information on Madrasa teachers and location of madrasas
Assam Government has asked all private madrasas in the state to share details about the teachers employed by them and the location of these institutes by December 1, as part of the government's efforts to "deradicalise" madrasas.
The state police held a discussion on this issue with representatives from the private madrasa board and the state's Education Department. Madrasas have been told to share the required information with the Secondary Education Board.
According to the Director General of Police (DGP), Bhaskarjyoti Mahanta, the Education Department will soon start a portal to facilitate sharing of information on Madrasa teachers and location of madrasas.
In September this year, the government had demolished three madrasas in three districts after they were found to have been used as hubs for "jihadi" activities by activists from Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) and Bangladesh-based Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT).
