Congress workers damage vehicles of NCP leaders

I
TANAGAR: In an incident of pre-poll violence, Congress workers have damaged five vehicles of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leaders at
Pasighat in Arunachal Pradesh's East Siang district.

According to sources, Congress workers on Friday allegedly pushed down the vehicles into ditches after damaging them. East Siang deputy commissioner (DC) Onit Panyang comdemned the incident and urged police to tighten security. Though the damaged vehicles have been handed over to police and a case has been registered, no arrests have been made so far, sources said.

Earlier, Congress workers pelted stones and attacked NCP candidates from Pasighat East Kaling Moyong at Yagrung village of the district. However, timely intervention by security forces diffused tension in the area.

An emergency meeting was convened later at the DC's office which was attended by NCP candidate Kaling Moyong, Congress candidate Bosiram Siram and BJP's Oyem Dai, besides the superintendent of police and other party leaders.
