Concerns Rise Over Assam's Nellie Massacre Report

Concerns Rise Over Assam's Nellie Massacre Report

In 1983, a horrific event happened in Nellie, Assam, where over 2,100 people, mostly Bengali-speaking Muslims, were killed.

The government looked into it and made a report in 1984, but it was never shared with the public.

Now, the government wants to release the report, which is causing a lot of discussions.

Some people worry it will cause problems and stir up old hurts.

Others question the timing, especially because of recent events, like the death of Zubeen Garg.

They fear it might distract from dealing with the present issues and the demand for justice.

The report's release may also cause disruption.
