As concerns over safety and justice grow in the wake of the tragic incident, the Chief Minister emphasized his administration’s dedication to ensuring justice for victims of crimes against women.

“We act immediately against anyone who commits crimes such as rape, and we ensure that justice is served swiftly. Unfortunately, the opposition does not always support these actions. Yet, in the last three years, we have taken many such ‘quick actions’ in the state,” Sarma asserted.

The Chief Minister also highlighted ongoing efforts to enhance security measures for doctors in Assam. “We are implementing multiple initiatives to ensure the safety of our doctors,” Sarma noted.
