AASU Protests Government Inaction on Indigenous Rights in Assam

The All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) Darrang district unit protested outside the Sipajhar Revenue Circle Office, condemning the government’s alleged inaction in protecting indigenous people. The protest followed an assault on local cattle rearer Satya Rajbongshi by individuals from a non-Assamese community, sparked by a dispute over crop damage. AASU also accused the non-Assamese community of land encroachment and urged swift action. The incident highlights rising tensions over land and community issues in Assam, demanding immediate government intervention.
