Students ‘vandalise’ BTC secretariat over Assam cabinet nod to report on ST status to 6 communities

way2barak, November 30: Students of the Bodoland University here on Saturday stormed the assembly hall of the BTC secretariat, and allegedly vandalised properties in protest against the Assam cabinet’s approval of a report on granting ST status to six other communities of the state.

Hundreds of tribal students took out a six-km-long march from the university campus to the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) secretariat, where they “broke through the barricades and closed the main gate, before barging into the assembly hall”.
