The city of Silchar was filled with a festive atmosphere as Muslims in the region celebrated Eid Al-Fitr, marking the end of their month-long fasting during Ramadan. 

However, amidst the celebrations, an incident in the Ghoniwala Area of Silchar disturbed some locals. Miscreants had drawn the flag of a country on the road, causing concern among the Muslim residents.

When the locals noticed the flag of Israel drawn on the road, they immediately informed the authorities. The incident occurred on Ghoniwala’s E&D Road, an area inhabited by the minority community. A resident, addressing the media, expressed their disturbance upon noticing the flag and promptly protested against it. They stated, “We protested to ensure that such disgusting acts won’t happen again,” condemning the act as unacceptable.

Upon learning of the incident, the Cachar Police took immediate action, painting over the flag to remove any resemblance to a nation’s flag. 

Cachar SP Numal Mahatta said that the case is under investigation, and it is too early to determine the culprits. Mahatta emphasised that although the act may not carry significant implications, the investigation is ongoing, and they expect to uncover leads soon.
