After Uttar Pradesh, now the Assam government has also sought information from the madrassas of Assam. Private madrassas in Assam have been asked to provide all information about their institutions to the state government by December 1 this year. In this, all the information, including the introduction of the serving teachers, instead of madrasas, has been asked to be submitted to the Secondary Education Department of the state government by December 1.

Earlier on September 4, a meeting was held between the DGP of Assam, senior police officers and representatives of several organizations running madrasas and several decisions were taken. It also ensured that in the name of religious education, no extremist elements take refuge in the madrassa.

Assam Police CPRO Rajeev Saikia said, work is underway on a portal where information of all private madrassas will be uploaded and the portal will be launched soon. DGP Bhaskar Jyoti Mahant said, there should be a distance of at least three km between two madrasas and each madrassa should have at least 100 students enrolled.

Earlier this year several teachers working in madrassas were arrested for their alleged links to al-Qaeda Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) and Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT), after which several madrassas in the state came under scrutiny.
