In Silchar, tension arose amid the ongoing vote counting for the Dholai Assembly seat at the ISBT, which commenced at 8:00 am. Despite the critical nature of the event, officials failed to provide any updates, leading to mounting frustration. This lack of communication sparked disputes between journalists and officials, with accusations of high-handedness directed at the department.
As discontent grew, members of the media staged a protest outside the gates of the counting center, demanding transparency and timely updates. The situation further escalated when journalists accused department official Bonika Chetia of hindering their ability to report on the proceedings.
This standoff has led to a tense atmosphere as reporters continue their protest, calling for greater accountability and access to information from the vote-counting process.
