AASU Forms Statewide Human Chain to Demand Repairs on Assam National Highways

The Assam Students' Union (AASU) staged a human‑chain protest that stretched across multiple districts of Assam, with students and supporters linking arms along key stretches of the national highways.
The demonstration, which began in the capital Guwahati and extended to remote towns, aimed to draw attention to the deteriorating condition of the highways that are vital for trade and connectivity.
AASU leaders demanded that the state and central governments expedite repair works, improve maintenance schedules and ensure safer travel for commuters.
The protest was peaceful, with participants chanting slogans and holding placards, and it has prompted the Assam Highways Department to issue a statement promising a review of the repair timelines.
