Moran Community Launches Economic Blockade, Demands ST Status
The All Moran Students' Union (AMSU) in Assam is protesting to get Scheduled Tribe (ST) status for the Moran community.
They've started an economic blockade in Tinsukia district, which means they are stopping trucks and other vehicles carrying resources like oil, coal, and tea from leaving the area.
They are doing this because they want the government to grant them ST status, a demand they have been making for a long time.
The blockade started on Monday after a torch rally where they threatened action if their demands weren't met within 72 hours.
The government is talking to the groups involved.
