In response to the recent clashes, Singh emphasized the need for police to act with absolute neutrality and in strict adherence to the law, without allowing any space for instant justice or actions outside legal boundaries. He highlighted that any failure by field police units to ensure the rule of law will be viewed seriously and handled accordingly.

The DGP also instructed district police units to collaborate with Thana Level Nagrik Committees and district administrations to hold regular meetings with all community stakeholders to maintain harmony. The directive underscored the Assam Police’s commitment to law enforcement and its responsibility to act impartially in maintaining peace and order across the state.

This strong message from DGP Singh reinforces the police force's duty to ensure justice and uphold law and order amid growing concerns about inter-community clashes in Assam.
