Click to play videoNew Delhi: Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi admitted that there has been a security lapse in Assam.
Announcing a red alert in the state after twin bomb blasts on Monday, Gogoi told CNN-IBN, “This is a matter of serious concern. Yes, there is a lapse. We have been providing security in the past. We have full confidence in the administration. Earlier also they (terrorists) have tried to create chaos before elections.”
“We have been containing terrorism in the past. The situation today is much better than earlier. We have been informed about insurgency and ULFA’s activities. We will take all precautions to prevent such incidents,” Gogoi added.
However, the Chief Minister confirmed that the PM’s visit to Dibrugarh is still on.
“The PM will be visiting Dibrugarh tomorrow. His other trip was cancelled because he could make it to only one place. It was not cancelled because of any disturbances in the state,” Gogoi said.
“We want the people of Assam to extend full cooperation. Then we will be able to contain such attacks,” he added.
