USUKA also called for a swift and permanent resolution to the Assam-Meghalaya border dispute, a long standing tension for years.
Jintu Hazarika, General Secretary of USUKA, said, “Despite our repeated protests in Dispur, the government has not addressed our concerns. We are here to submit a memorandum to the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council, as our issues remain unaddressed. This demonstration is a result of the government’s failure to attend to our concerns.”
As per reports, the district administration acknowledged the memorandum and assured the union that their demands would be forwarded to the relevant authorities.
