Kokrajhar: A 60-hour long Assam Bandh began this morning as the demand for Bodoland state intensifies after the Centre's announcement on Telangana. Road and rail traffic is expected to be severely affected, particularly in lower Assam's Bodo tribe dominated districts.
The bandh is the latest in a series of agitations in the past week, including a rail roko and a massive rally yesterday, pressing for statehood.
