Dibrugarh Students Hold 12-Hour Hunger Strike Over Halted Anti-Erosion Work

Protest leaders say a weeklong halt to Maijan–Bogibeel works heightens erosion risk.

Overview

All Assam Students’ Union and All Dibrugarh Students’ Union staged the protest at Phoolbagan from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday.
Participants alleged anti-erosion activity along the Maijan to Bogibeel stretch has been stopped for about a week.
Student leaders accused the Water Resources Department and its contractors of negligence and a sluggish pace of work.
They called for immediate resumption of works, intervention by the Chief Minister, and permanent, scientifically designed protections, noting the dry season as the optimal window.
Protesters warned they would escalate their agitation if work does not resume, and no official response was reported in the coverage.
