The AASU leader said if the bill is passed, the people of Assam would lose their indigenous culture and identity. He added that the Centre is trying to belittle the sacrifice of the Assam Movement’s martyrs by trying to get the bill passed. Vice-president of the AJYCP’s Guwahati unit Sanjib Bora said, “Our agitation against the bill will continue. We will compel the BJP government to scrap the bill.” Police detained several protesters across the city during the blockade. The Naharlagun–New Tinsukia Express, Naharlagun–Guwahati Shatabdi Express, Rangiya–Dibrugarh Express, Dibrugarh–Delhi Brahmaputra Mail and the Dibrugah-Rangiya Express ran late owing to the blockade.
