The Tirap Autonomous District Council Demand Committee (TADCDC) has announced a large-scale agitation in Dispur on November 25, coinciding with the beginning of the Assam Assembly’s Winter Session. The announcement comes after the committee’s apex body held its final discussions on the immediate creation of the proposed Tirap Autonomous District Council (TADC) under Article 244(2) of the Constitution.
In an official communication issued on November 15, the TADCDC urged all Aboriginal Tribal Organisations of the Tirap Tribal Belt, along with village chiefs, intellectuals, and socially aware citizens, to unite and participate in the mobilisation. The committee has set a target to gather around 5,000 volunteers in Dispur to press the state government for the formation of the autonomous council.
The statement emphasized that the agitation aims to safeguard the culture, traditions, and future of the tribal communities in the Tirap region, including the transferred areas of Margherita in Tinsukia district. “We appeal to all organisations to join this important cause. A united effort is essential for the protection of our identity and the future of our next generations,” the letter said.
To ensure proper coordination and planning, the TADCDC has scheduled a preparatory meeting on November 17 at 1 PM at the Namou Club Conference Hall in Kumchai Singpho Village. The meeting will finalise mobilisation strategies and discuss the logistics of the proposed protest.
