DNLA calls 36-hour bandh in 6 Assam districts

SILCHAR: Leaving the nomenclature of an earlier demand for a separate ‘Dima Raji’ (Dimasa state), the Dimasa National Liberation Army (DNLA) has demanded a ‘Hidimba Raji’ (Hidimba state) comprising of ‘Dimasa-dominated’ areas of Assam and neigbouring states.
On the basis of their fresh demand, the militant outfit has called for a 36-hour bandh in Dima Hasao, Karbi Anglong, Hojai, Cachar, Karimganj and Hailakandi, in connection with the Independence Day. The bandh is slated to start from 5 am on August 14 and is supposed to end on 5 pm on August 15.
