Assam CM Sarma promises resolution on caste certificates for state's tea tribes
The Statesman Siliguri
|September 10, 2025
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has said that the long-standing dispute over caste certificates for the state's tea tribe and Adivasi communities has been amicably resolved following discussions with the Assam Tea Tribe Students' Association (ATTSA) and the All Adivasi Students' Association of Assam (AASAA).
He assured that the government would issue an appropriate notification "at the earliest."
The announcement comes just days after hundreds of AASAA members blocked NH-37 at Makum in Tinsukia district, demanding caste certificates that reflect their specific Adivasi identities rather than the broad categories currently in use.
