Assam: Bandh evokes no response in Dibrugarh

GUWAHATI, April 3, 2018: Bharat bandh that was called by Dalit organizations in protest against the alleged dilution of the SCs/STs Act did not have much an impact in Dibrugarh, Assam on Monday.

According to skirmishes reports that came from different parts of the country, no such untoward incidents were reported in the city.

Barring one or two stray cases of burning of tyres on the highway, vehicular traffic and daily life largely remained unaffected by the bandh. Commercial establishments were also open throughout the day.

Nevertheless, as the bandh did impede the normal operations in Tinsukia, the effect of that trickled down to Dibrugarh. Many passengers here had to cancel their plans to go to Tinsukia, and as such, faced a certain degree of inconvenience.
