As per inputs, hundreds of people from various tribal communities participated in the rally that began from Jagun to Margherita Sub Division office, demanding the formation of Tirap Autonomous District Council.

The bike rallyists also submitted a memorandum (MoU) addressed to the Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma through the Margherita sub divisional administration.

In the memorandum, the rallyists demanded an instant halt to illegal coal business in the sub division with immediate effect.
