Amidst escalating tensions over the implementation of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) in Assam, the Guwahati Police has issued a legal notice to organizations planning a statewide hartal. The 16-party United Opposition Forum, Assam, announced the strike in protest against the contentious law. Prompted by fears of an influx of illegal immigrants, protests have erupted across the state, with the All Assam Students Union (AASU) leading demonstrations and burning copies of the CAA. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma warned against strikes, stating they violate court orders, while opposition parties vow to intensify their resistance, promising further protests and legal action.
