Overview
- The crackdown, which the chief minister said recorded 524 arrests and 441 cases as of 5:00 PM on Tuesday, is a renewed, statewide law‑enforcement push by Assam Police.
- Dhubri district was a focal point of the operation with police detaining 63 people from areas under nine police stations while the sweep continues there.
- Officials say those arrested include parents, guardians and religious figures accused of facilitating or solemnising underage unions and that legal cases are being pursued.
- The government published the update on social media but did not provide a full district‑wise breakdown and independent verification of the new figures is not available.
- The state frames the drive as a continuation of a campaign launched in 2023 that it says produced thousands of earlier arrests and reduced child marriages in some districts, a shift authorities link to better health and education outcomes for girls.
