40 students, civilians evacuated in Dibrugarh

DIBRUGARH, Dec 14: Around 40 students and youth, including 18 females from Arunachal Pradesh, who remained stranded in Dibrugarh town due to unrest, were safely evacuated by security forces on Saturday.
The evacuation drive for the students and youth from Arunachal Pradesh’s Changlang district was carried out by 171 Bn CRPF.
The people from neighbouring Arunachal were stranded in Dibrugarh due to massive protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019 following which all means of transportation to and from Dibrugarh were disrupted.
They were supposed to go to Changlang district from Dimapur via Dibrugarh.
But they have been left stranded in different locations of Dibrugarh district for the last three days without proper food due to the emerging unrest and adverse situation.
A team of 171 Bn CRPF, led by inspector (GD) Raile Paul, evacuated them on Saturday. NENOW
