ABSU blocks road demanding Bodoland

Kokrajhar (Assam): The All Bodo Students Union (ABSU) on Sunday blocked the National Highway 31-C for three hours demanding immediate creation of separate state of Bodoland in the northern bank of the river Brahmaputra in Assam.

ABSU also submitted a memorandum to the prime minister through Kokrajhar deputy commissioner urging him to start a dialogue for creation of Bodoland.

ABSU President Promod Boro and General Secretary Jiron Basumatary in a statement said any isolated decision on creation of new states in the country without including Bodoland would not be tolerated.

There must be a comprehensive policy in the formation of new states, they said, adding that ABSU would be compelled to cal bandhs and mass movements if the union government ignored the Bodoland demand. (PTI)
