The good part is that the administration was acting to restore normalcy. Some miscreants belonging to different communities have already been arrested. Even opposition parties came together


to support the various meetings organised by the administration. In one such peace meeting held in Panisagar, four MLAs belonging to both the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Communist


Party of India (Marxist) (CPI-M) participated, rising above their political ideologies. Two BJP MLAs, Benoy Bhusan Das of Panisagar and Biswabandhu Sen of Dharmanagar, and two CPI(M) MLAs,


Mobassar Ali of Kailashahar and Islam Uddin of Kadamtala, were present, along with speakers from local communities. In another peace meeting held in Kailashahar, District Magistrate UK


Chakma, state Cabinet Minister Bhagaban Das, local CPI(M) MLA Mobassar Ali, Unakoti district Congress president Badrujjaman and leaders of different faiths were present. With the active


coordination of administration, political representatives (both ruling and opposition) and people from all communities, normalcy was restored in these areas. On the night of Kali Puja, the


local Muslims, as usual, took part in the festival along with the Hindus, who offered puja to the Goddess.
