UDALGURI: The Udalguri district committee of Assam Gorkha Sanmellan (AGS) has been campaigning for the legitimate rights of Gorkhas in villages inhabited by Gorkhas in Udalguri.

The Gorkha community people feel neglected in the report of the sixth schedule implementation advisory committee. Moreover, the community people are facing the problem of D-voters and non-inclusion in the NRC list. Land patta is also an issue for them. The Udalguri district committee of AGS has been organizing Jana Jagaran Sabha to create awareness among the common people over the issues.

Ramesh Dahal, the president, and Bhuban Dhamala, the general secretary of Udalguri district committee AGS, organized meetings at Suklai, Dimakuchi, Barangajuli Khuti, Phulbari and Banderguri villages. Similar meetings will be held in other Gorkha-inhabited villages after Diwali, the leaders said.
