AJYCP Leaders Detained During Sonapur Toll Gate Protest, Triggering Statewide Demonstrations
The Assam Jatiyatabadi Yuva-Chatra Parishad (AJYCP) leaders were detained by Assam Police during a protest at Sonapur Toll Gate demanding a halt to toll collection until NH-27 is repaired following a fatal accident. The All Moran Students' Union condemned the detentions, calling for their immediate release and defending the right to peaceful protest. The arrests sparked statewide demonstrations, including an effigy burning of Assam Police in Doomdooma, with protesters alleging suppression of democratic dissent and warning of intensified agitation if demands are unmet.
