Replying to a question raised by AGP MLA Pabindra Deka in the state Assembly, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Chandra Mohan Patowary said security agencies have not been able to arrest 12 JMB members in the state after the Khagragarh blast in Burdwan district of West Bengal.
After 2014 blast by JMB, a total of 52 members of that module have been arrested from Barpeta, Chirang, Baksa, Nalbari, Bongaigaon and Goalpara districts in Assam, he said.
Following the recent terror attack in Dhaka, two suspected JMB men were arrested from Lower Assam, he said.
"Besides, security in all sensitive places like railway station, airport, Kamakhya temple, refineries and shopping malls have been beefed up," he added.
