Assam Groups Protest Against Naga Councils’ Border Restrictions

Border tensions resurfaced as organisations in Golaghat staged a sit-in at Merapani against “atrocities” by Naga groups. The protest followed a notification by 11 Naga village councils barring Assamese entry into border areas and imposing a ₹50,000 fine. Groups like AASU and Bir Lachit Sena demanded land recovery, stronger security, and protection for Assamese villagers, warning of intensified agitation if the government fails to act.
