Dibrugarh cops conduct anti-sabotage checks ahead of I-Day & Ulfa-I's Martyrs' Day
Dibrugarh: In a high-security operation ahead of
Independence Day
and Ulfa (Independent)'s Martyrs' Day, Dibrugarh Police on Saturday conducted extensive anti-sabotage checks across critical installations and public spaces in the city.
While the nation will celebrate its 79th Independence Day on Aug 15, the banned militant outfit has been observing July 27 as Swahid Diwas (Martyrs' Day) to honour its cadres who died fighting for a 'sovereign Assam."
Led by Dibrugarh senior superintendent of police (SSP) Rakesh Reddy, the day-long operation involved sniffer dogs, explosive detectors and multiple police teams sweeping through busy marketplaces, roads, bridges and critical infrastructure, with officials describing the exercise as a 'preemptive security measure.'
"We are conducting extensive anti-sabotage checks in light of the upcoming Independence Day and Ulfa-I's Martyrs' Day. This is a critical part of our strategy to ensure foolproof security. Our goal is not just to prevent threats, but also to reassure the public that their safety is our top priority," Reddy said.
The SSP added that the operation was purely preventive and urged citizens to remain calm. "There is no need for panic.

Our security forces are fully prepared and these checks will continue in the coming days. However, public cooperation is essential," Reddy said.
Security agencies in Dibrugarh remain on high alert during this period, given Ulfa-I's history of attempting to disrupt activities around 'Swahid Diwas' and Independence Day. Police have intensified patrolling and surveillance, particularly in crowded areas and near govt buildings.
