The Assam Cabinet has recommended proclamation of Governor’s Rule in Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) till the elections are held in the council, reports The Shillong Times on October 22. The Cabinet on October 22 chaired by Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal further requested the State Election Commission to complete the election process in BTC by December 15, 2020. Elections to the 40-member autonomous council, covering the four districts of Kokrajhar, Chirang, Baksa and Udalguri, now collectively called Bodoland Territorial Region, were earlier scheduled for April 4, 2020, but had to be deferred indefinitely in view of the COVID-19 pandemic.
