The All Assam Students' Union (AASU) staged a statewide 11-hour hunger strike on Thursday, intensifying its opposition to the Centre's new immigration order, which the student body claims is altering Assam's demographic balance and undermining the indigenous identity of the state.

The protest began at 6 a.m. and was observed simultaneously in all district headquarters, with the main demonstration held at Dighalipukhuri in Guwahati. Hundreds of students and supporters joined the strike, holding placards that demanded the eviction of illegal immigrants "irrespective of religion" and the urgent implementation of the 1985 Assam Accord.
