Stir Threat by North Cachar Hills Tribals

Derailed Train during NC Hills Bandh

Haflong, May 22 : The North Cachar Hills Indigenous Students’ Forum and Indigenous Women’s Forum have thanked the people of NC Hills for their cooperation in making the recent bandh a success, a press release issued by the NC Hills Indigenous Students’ Forum, stated.

The indigenous bodies called the bandh to let the people of Assam know that the Government has taken a biased decision in renaming the North Cachar Hills district by ignoring the plight of other indigenous tribal people.

They vowed to agitate until there is bifurcation of the district. The Governor’s notification on Diama Hasao district should be enforced only in Dimasa-inhabited areas barring the ancestral land of other indigenous tribal people, the release added.
