Students demand rehab,security for violence-hit areas

Guwahati, Oct 18 (UNI) Students' organisations of Assam today staged a sit-in silent demonstration demanding rehabilitation and security for the communal violence-hit victims of Darrang and Udalguri districts.

They alleged that the Congress-led state government had failed completely in providing security to life and property.

The All Assam Students' Union (AASU) and All Bodo Students' Union (ABSU) members participated in the two-hour demonstration in front of the Raj Bhavan here.

The students' bodies demanded adequate and prompt rehabilitation of the affected people and asked the government to provide ample security so that the people can return.

A joint team of the AASU and ABSU had visited the relief camps in the two districts and had alleged inadequate provisions following their interaction with the victims.
