Baksa: A massive protest broke out in Mushalpur, Baksa district of Assam, as thousands of Adivasis took to the streets demanding their long-pending inclusion in the Scheduled Tribe (ST) list and better living conditions. The protestors also called for land ownership rights and a hike in daily wages for tea garden workers to ₹551.

The rally, named “Gon Hungkar” (People’s Roar), was organised jointly by several Adivasi and tea tribe organisations, including the All Adivasi Students’ Association of Assam (AASAA), All Tea Tribes Students’ Association (ATTSA) Tamulpur–Baksa units, Assam Chah Mazdoor Sangha, Tea Garden Primary Committees, Udalguri Youth Students’ Council, and the All Adivasi Women’s Students’ Association of Assam (AAWSAA).
