More villages will be included in Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) from the latest update announcement.
On Thursday, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma announced one of the 60 villages that will be included in the Bodo Council.
“As part of promises made in the Bodo peace deal signed in January 2020, our government has decided to include villages which have at least 80% Bodo population in the BTR,” CM said.
Along with the announcement, he also said that March 31 will be marked as Students’ Day in Assam in memory of Upendranath Brahma, who is said to be the father of Borods.
“Thank you CM Sarma for your gifts to BTR in the form of implementation of the clauses of the BTR peace accord on this Republic Day,” Pramod Bodo, chief executive member of the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC), tweeted.
