TINSUKIA: The Tinsukia District Students’ Union burnt the effigy of Assam Chief Minister and the State Education Minister in protest against the closure of 221 Assamese-medium schools in the Tinsukia district, at Thana Chariali, Tinsukia on Wednesday after holding a protest march from AASU office to Thana Chariali
Samarjyoti Gohain, the general secretary of Tinsukia District Students’ Union, stated in a press release that at a time when the Assam Government should have improved the infrastructure of schools, recruit teachers planning for a better quality education system to motivate parents to enrol their children in Assamese medium schools, closure of Assamese medium would be unacceptable to the student body.
