Bandh cripples Rabha Hasong areas

Normal life in Rabha Hasong dominated area areas of Assam remains crippled following a 12 hour bandh call which began at 5 in the morning on Thursday. All vehicles are off from the roads. Shops and markets, schools and colleges, banks and offices are remaining closed soon after the bandh started at 5 in the morning.

The All Assam Rabha Council called for the bandh in protest against the government’s failure to rescue two teachers who were kidnapped by suspected GNLA insurgents along the Assam-Meghalaya border in Goalpara district of Assam.
