Assam Assembly Tables Bill to Recognize Manipuri as Associate Official Language in Four Districts

The Assam Legislative Assembly introduced an amendment bill to recognize Manipuri as an Associate Official Language in four districts—Cachar, Karimganj, Hailakandi, and Hojai. This proposal was part of ten bills tabled during the autumn session, including three new bills and seven amendments. The amendment aims to address demands from the Barak Valley and other regions with significant Manipuri-speaking populations. Other notable bills include the Assam Urban Water Bodies (Preservation and Conservation) Bill and the Assam Repealing Bill, which aims to prevent misuse in Muslim marriage registrations.
