TURA: The Garo Students’ Union (GSU) from Phulbari has urged the West Garo Hills Deputy Commissioner to take necessary steps to control influx of outsiders from Assam into plain belt regions of the district.
In its memorandum submitted to the DC on Tuesday, the union has informed that influx from Assam is taking place into areas like Rajabala, Old Bhaitbari, New Bhaitbari, Rajpur, Belbari, Gomaijhora, Nagarband and Giningmill under Phulbari and Chibinang, all of which come under the Dadenggre Civil Sub-division.
