Jamshedpur: The Adivasi Sengel Abhiyan (ASA), a pan-India tribal organisation, today called for a dawn-to-dusk bandh in five eastern states on December 31 in protest against the recent massacre of Adivasis by Bodo militants in Assam.

“We have decided to observe a dawn-to-dusk bandh in Assam, West Bengal, Bihar, Odisha and Jharkhand in protest against the killing of innocent adivasis in Assam by Bodo militants,” ASA central President Salkhan Murmu said.

Murmu said the decision was taken in an emergency meeting of ASA in Purulia district of West Bengal.

“ASA has called for the bandh as the concerned state as well as the union government have failed to take adequate measures to ensure security of the Adivasi community,” the former MP said.
