96hrs bandh against MAC ends

DHEMAJI, Nov 4 – The 96-hour Dhemaji district bandh called by Jatiya Aoikya Mancha from Monday morning in protest against inclusion of non-Mising inhabitated villages in Mising Autonomous Council (MAC) area was peaceful today. Normal life in Dhemaji town and its surrounding areas was affected during the bandh. – Correspondent,The Assam Tribune,November 05,2008
Comments:The ongoing tension between Mising and non-Mising over the MAC inclusion issue is led by Ahoms mainly since such kind of development was also seen when Assam govt. appointed Sub-committee on Sixth Schedule came to Gogamukh,the MAC HQ on June,2004.They pelted stones in Dhemaji town areas to vehicles which carried Mising youths to Gogamukh led by TMPK.The latest bandh is the longest hours bandh in the history of Dhemaji ,the district with highest Mising Tani concentration.However,the people of Jonai sub-divisional areas defied the bandh and maintained their normalcy.
