MANGALDAI, Feb 8: The state government has taken the unexpected detention of the Chief Minister, Tarun Gogoi by as many as three thousand activists of Darrang Zila Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (DZKMSS) at Patharighat in Darrang district on January 28 last seriously and ordered for a high level enquiry over the incident. The state government vide an order has instructed JSL Basava, Commissioner Lower Assam Division to conduct the enquiry and to submit the report immediately. It may be recalled here that the Chief Minister, Tarun Gogoi while on his way to offer floral wreath at the memorial tomb constructed in memory of 140 peasant martyrs at the historic Patharighat in Darrang district on that day, the activists of DZKMSS keeping the police and civil intelligence totally in the dark, took out a procession from Dighirpara to Patharighat covering a distance of about 8 kms and offered floral wreath at the memorial tomb before the Chief Minister could have offered it ceremonially. Though the activists of the DZKMSS peacefully observed their pre-scheduled programme, yet they raised slogans before the Chief Minister raising their voice against the alleged unabated corruption in the name of NREG schemes and demanding solution to the long felt problems of the farmers. Much to the embarrassment of the Chief Minister as well as of the police and civil administration officials, the Chief Minister’s convoy got stuck on the road for about fifteen minutes while the activists of the DZKMSS were returning.
