OUR CORRESPONDENT

HAFLONG: Several organisations like All Apex Body Coordination Committee, Dimasa Students' Union, All Dimasa Students' Union, Jadikhe Naisho Hosom, Dima Jalai Hosom, Dimasa Mother Association, Dimasa Youth Forum etc organized a peaceful protest rally against bifurcation of Dima Hasao district on communal line on Monday at Haflong.

The rally, led by leaders of all the organisations, was taken out from Lal field and marched up to SP office. It then converged in front of the office of Deputy Commissioner, Dima Hasao.

Leaders from each organisation opined that there should not be any biased decision in regard to the demand for bifurcation by the IPF which may lead to trouble in the district. Similar rallies were organized at Diyungbra, Mahur, Harangajao and Umrangsu where thousands of people took part.

They further said if the government do not pay attention to them, then they would be bound to continue their democratic movement. They also said after a long time turmoil, peace has been re-established in the district which should not be disturbed for the interest of a section of people.

They are of the opinion that the Assam government has been ignoring them by not paying any attention to their repeated representations in regards to the demand of the Indigenous People Forum.

They also submitted a memorandum to the Chief Minister of Assam through the Deputy Commissioner on Monday. The memorandum urged not to entertain the unconstitutional demand of IPF and their allied organisations for bifurcation of the Dima Hasao Autonomous District with a separate Autonomous Council.
