Tension during polling along Assam border

A
runachal administration conducted polling in two booths in Assam’s land on Tuesday’s assembly election of the state. However, Assam officials failed to obstruct the aggression of Arunachalis into Assam’s land. Tension prevailed in inter-state boundaries of Assam with Arunachal Pradesh on Tuesday following the move of Arunachal to set up two polling booths in Assam’s land. According to report, two polling centres No 13 Kankurusha and No 14 Hasirusha have been set up in Bimalapur and Naharani areas under Charaideo in Sivasagar district of upper Assam. The two pooling booths fall under No 58 Kanubari legislative assembly constituency of Arunachal. But the police and administration obstructed the Arunachal Pradesh polling officials from setting up the polling booth in morning hours. I created a tension among the residents of two states. However, additional DC of Kanubari VK Das announced cancellation of the poll in the two booths. Das told reporters that administration had conducted poll in the two stations in last Lok Sabha poll. This time also they set up the stations as Assam never protested it earlier. However, the polling in the two booths started after disappearance of Assam Police and administrative officials from the border areas. According to report, the poll percentage in No 13 Kankurusha was 96 per cent while it is 84 per cent in No 14 Hasuirusha polling booth. The voters of No 13 Kankurusha booth was 143 and it was 304 in No 14 Hasirusha pooling booth. By this way the neighbouring state had conducted polling in Assam’s land by misleading police and administrative officials. The state officials have miserably failed to deal with the situation.
