GUWAHATI: A group of about 12 farmer activists, who returned from Delhi on Wednesday after the protests, allegedly refused to go through the Covid tests at the airport here. At least two of them have been booked for vandalizing the Covid screening desk at the airport.
Police said Dinesh Das of independent peasant-workers’ organization Sangrami Krishak Sramik Sangha (SKSS), and Jayanta Gogoi of the CPI-affiliated Nikhil Bharat Krishak Sabha (NBKS), were arrested. An FIR was lodged against them at the Azara police station for allegedly resorting to vandalism and disrupting government officials on Covid duty at the desk that was jointly manned by officials from the administration and other departments.
