Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi, while expressing serious concerns over the latest killing of Bihari migrant workers in Assam, appealed to the Central government to intervene in the matter and direct the Assamese government to check violence against Biharis in the state."The Center cannot remain a moot spectator when Biharis are systematically being assaulted and murdered in Assam. The Home Ministry must look into the matter to assure safety of the people of Bihar who have chosen to make Assam their home," Modi said at a press conference in Patna on Wednesday.
The Deputy Chief Minister also directed the Chief Secretary to contact his counterpart in Assam to review the situation in the northeast state.
Meanwhile, the state government announced a compensation of Rs. 1 lakh to the family members of the latest victims of violence in Assam.
