Gogoi announced that a four-member team had left for Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka to asses the situation and would be in touch with the respective governments.

 

"The fear psychosis and sense of insecurity should go and we will give protection to anybody who is feeling insecure," he said.

"Relief and rehabilitation measures are in full swing and illegal arms with miscreants will be seized. There are no fresh incidents as of now," he said.
