Students ask Bangladeshs to quit Assam, govt tries to keep the peace

Authorities in Sivasagar, Assam, took pre-emptive measures to mitigate tensions after student groups issued an ultimatum for suspected Bangladeshi settlers to leave. This comes amid backlash following recent crimes, including a gang rape in Nagaon. Security agencies have ramped up area-domination exercises, with several organizations signing peace bonds to avoid penal action.
