The shutdown, led by the All Assam Students' Union (AASU) and the North East Students' Organisation (NESO), against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2019 had impact throughout the State, reports New Indian Express. Protestors blocked national highways and other roads by burning tyres. Sporadic incidents of violence were also reported as bandh supporters damaged vehicles and engaged in a tussle with police and security personnel at different places. Bandh supporters staged railway track blockade at different railway stations as well as isolated places, including in Tangla, Lakhimpur, Moran, Rangiya, Silghat and Silchar. The strike, however, did not have much impact on the Bengali-dominated Barak Valley of the State.
