Guwahati: Prabajan Virodhi Manch (PVM), a forum against illegal immigrants in Assam, has sought action from the civic body and the district police against some vendors, allegedly of Bangladeshi origin, for grievously assaulting an indigenous vegetable vendor and his son at a market in Mangaldoi under Darrang district last month.
The Assam-based forum convener and Supreme Court lawyer Upamanyu Hazarika has, in this regard, written letters to the chairperson of the Mangaldoi municipal board and the Superintendent of Police, Darrang district.
In a statement issued here, Hazarika informed that on April 24, 2024, Jiten Deka, a vegetable vendor, was “obstructed, severely beaten and threatened by some vendors of Bangladeshi origin” for selling his produce at the daily bazaar operated by the Municipal Board in Mangaldoi.
