History
On 10 April 2026, a group of unidentified individuals pelted the offices of Asomiya Pratidin in North Lakhimpur, breaking windows and causing damage to the newsroom. The attack occurred shortly after Himanta Biswa Sarma, the Chief Minister of Assam, criticised the paper. The Committee to Protect Journalists called on Assamese authorities to conduct a "swift and transparent" investigation into the attack, and to ensure that journalists in the state could work "without fear".[3][4][5]
