Thousands of people from RHAC and Tribal Belts and Block areas demanded to withdraw the law and submitted a memorandum to CM Sonowal through Palashbari Revenue Circle Officer.The protesters also threatened of more intense protest and not participating in the upcoming elections is the law is not withdrawn.
The protesters chanted various slogans against the BJP ruled government and Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal.
