Bodos hold a rail blockade over separate state demand
Demanding a separate Bodoland state to be carved out of Assam, several Bodo organisations on Monday resorted to rail blockade in the Udalguri area of the state. Over 20,000 people joined the programme shouting slogans “No Bodoland no rest”, “No discrimination against Bodos will be tolerated”, an official said. The protestors blocked the rail movement for 12 hours, reports said.
