Led by Vivek Das, CPI (ML) leader from Assam's Sonitpur district, a group of people had yesterday held a bike-rally at Tarasso village in Papum Pare district of Arunachal, where allegedly anti-Arunachal and derogative slogans hurting tribal sentiments were hurled.
The chief minister wrote a letter to his Assamese counterpart Tarun Gogoi expressing his displeasure on repeated acts of breach of status quo on part of people from the neighbouring state, official sources said.
He called for immediate and personal intervention of Gogoi to initiate legal action against the 'intruders' for creating tension along the inter-state boundary and disturbing harmony.
Tuki has also written to Union Home Minister P Chidambaram seeking his intervention.
Taking strong exception to the incident, Tuki has directed the state police department to immediately deploy additional security forces at Tarasso to regain confidence of the fear-stricken villagers and maintain law and order.
Meanwhile, on a complaint lodged by the Papum Pare district administration, the Sonitpur (Assam) Deputy Commissioner has assured to take stern action against the 'intruders'.
