Meetings have been held in Silchar, and we will soon make an announcement,&#8221; Singh told the Assembly,without elaborating who are involved in the meetings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He described the ongoing violence as an &#8220;unexpected and unwanted turn of events,&#8221; and added, &#8220;Given the grim law and order situation, taking extreme measures, including arrests, might have negative repercussions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Singh also noted that some issues are being politicised, which is complicating the situation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;There are elements which are politicising certain issues that cannot be immediately handled now. I appeal to all not to engage in such activities,&#8221; Singh said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In response to Congress MLA Ranjit Singh&#8217;s question about violence occurring despite the presence of over 38,000 state forces, Singh said, &#8220;An investigation is being conducted by a retired Supreme Court judge. The findings will identify the lapses that contributed to the violence, and responsibility will be fixed based on the inquiry&#8217;s conclusions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Replying to a query from Congress MLA Surajkumar Okram, Singh said, &#8220;So far, 226 people have been killed in the violence.
