#assam: The proposed visit of the Japanese Prime Minister to Assam is likely to be called off following security concerns, according to reports. The development is being seen as a potential diplomatic setback for the state, which had been preparing to host the high-profile visit. Sources indicate that members of the Japanese Prime Minister’s security team were reportedly present during a disruption beneath the Ganeshguri flyover, linked to the controversy over the repainting of a mural dedicated to Zubeen Garg. The incident has raised questions regarding the adequacy of security arrangements. While no official confirmation has been issued so far, reports suggest that the visit may be cancelled. If so, this would mark the second instance of a planned visit by a Japanese Prime Minister to Assam not materialising.
