Tarakai reiterated that preventing such incidents is a top priority for the government and underscored the importance of providing security to officers. He urged elected representatives to resolve their issues through proper channels rather than resorting to violence.

He noted that problems can be addressed by contacting relevant authorities, including himself, rather than taking the law into one’s own hands.

The situation escalated after a heated exchange between a close aide of the Chief Minister and an education officer over teacher transfers.
