AASU threatens economic blockade against Nagaland

Guwahati, Sep 18: Two days after the Nagaland police fired the All Assam Students Union (AASU), they now threaten to impose economic blockade on NH-39 from Sep 19.

They said that unless the police are arrested, they will further extend indefinite blockade on the border highway.

AASU said that its members would cover their faces in black mask, hoist black flags and hold demonstrations at the district headquarter in protest against the incident.

Meanwhile, Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi on Friday, Sep 17 directed the Labour & Employment K K Mittal to probe into the incident and submit the report within seven days.

Sources said he also spoke to Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio to ensure that the errant policemen were arrested at the earliest.
