Protest Erupts in Jagun Over Assam Cabinet’s Land Rights Decision

Over 3,000 people from All Assam Tribal Sangha and seven tribal groups blocked NH-315 in Jagun, protesting the Assam Cabinet’s decision to grant land rights to six additional communities in the Tirap Tribal Belt. Protesters warned of intensified agitation, claiming the move threatens indigenous demographics and lacked tribal consultation. They demanded immediate rollback and a meeting with the Chief Minister.
