Haflong : Attention of the District Magistrate has been drawn towards news reports in certain section of media regarding the suicide case of one labour at Altaf tilla near lower Haflong within the Haflong municipal area yesterday.

Deputy Commissioner, Dima Hasao, Amitabh Rajkhowa has ordered Magisterial enquiry to unearth the actual cause of the suicide and report will be submitted to the DC within three days. As per data recorded of the distributed relief on behalf of DDMA in Lower Haflong area, out of 344 households the family of the deceased labor was also benefitted like the rest on 25^th April, 2020, which was just two days before the occurrence of the unfortunate incident. The relief received by their family comprised of rice, dal, mustard oil, salt as per govt norms.

Distribution of rice, dry vegetables like potatoes and onion to all needy including this area was also done by the North Cachar Hills Autonomous Council authority initiated by CEM Debolal Gorlosa in March and later in April again.

Under such circumstances when even the conscious citizens, NGOs, groups etc have been selflessly distributing relief around various parts of Dima Hasao, reporting of such incident  without proper investigation is objectionable , when the government is battling a deluge of misinformation available in various platforms of media including social media during such pandemic situation.
