Assam: Kamatapur State Demand Council holds mass gathering in Kokrajhar, renews demand for separate state

The Kamatapur State Demand Council (KSDC) organised a mass gathering at the playground of Kokrajhar Government HS and MP School on Sunday, November 15, reiterating its demand for a separate Kamatapur state and pressing the government to address a series of long-standing demands.

During the gathering, the organisation renewed its demand for the creation of a separate Kamatapur state, the release of Kamatapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) chairman Jiban Singha, Scheduled Tribe (ST) status for the Koch Rajbongshi community and the inclusion of the Koch Rajbongshi language in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution.

Addressing the media, several KSDC leaders urged the government to fulfil the demands at the earliest. They said the organisation would intensify its agitation and launch a larger movement in the coming days if the demands continued to remain unaddressed.

The gathering was organised to reiterate the organisation's demands and press for government intervention on the issues concerning the Koch Rajbongshi community.
