Following the Assam government's decision to grant Sixth Schedule status to the Mising, Tiwa, and Rabha communities, the Sonowal Kachari, Deori, and Thengal Kachari communities are now demanding similar constitutional protection. Leaders from these groups criticized the state government's exclusion as discriminatory and unjust. They announced a joint movement, citing the Bhuria Committee Report and the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council as precedents, and plan to present their demands to both state and central governments.
