Assam: Bodo group threatens 1000 hour strike

Fuelled by the Telangana announcement, protests by pro-statehood activists from the north-eastern tribes Bodos, Koch-Rajbongshis, Karbis, Dimasas and Garos kept the entire region cut off from the rest of India on Monday, by crippling train services and blocking highways. A Bodo outfit has also threatened to start a 1000-hour strike after Eid unless the Centre invites Bodo leaders for talks.
