Massive protest began today at the Brahmaputra Valley Fertilizer Corporation Limited (BVFCL) in eastern Assam’s Dibrugarh district.
The protest was organised by the Namrup regional committee of the Tai Ahom Students Union. The protesters included families of the workers and employees of the plant which is the lone fertilizer manufacturing plant in the entire Northeastern region.
