Statewide bandh total

The AGP-sponsored statewide bandh is total disrupting normal life on Thursday.

AGP leaders and activists along with some other bandh supporters came out to the streets in many places.

A section of the bandh supporters burnt tyres on the streets to block the vehicles.

Shouting slogans, the protesters asked chief minister Tarun Gogoi to step down immediately owning moral responsibility for the border flare up. 

Our correspondents from Sivasagar, Jorhat, Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, Dhemaji, Lakhimpur, BTAD, Darrang, Nagaon, Barpeta, Dhubri have reported total bandh on Wednesday.

Backed by 13 organizations, the AGP sponsored bandh will end at 5 in the evening.
