AAKRSU bandh total

By AT News |

Normal life came to grinding halt in the Koch Rajbanshi dominated areas in the lower Assam districts following the 24 hour statewide bandh demanding SC status.

Called by the All Assam Koch Rajbanshi Students Union,  the bandh started at 6 this morning where roads started remaining desert, shops and markets, schools and colleges, banks and offices remained closed under the impact of the bandh.

In some places the supporters enforced the bandh call by burning tyres on the road. Reports of paralyzing bandh are pouring in from Sonitpur, Darrang, Nagaon and Morigaon districts also.
