It has been a long-pending demand across three hill districts
A group of Bharatiya Janata Party lawmakers from Assam, including a Lok Sabha member, has submitted a memorandum to the Centre seeking the implementation of Article 244A for the creation of an autonomous State within Assam.
Implementation of Article 244A, which prescribes the formation of an autonomous State comprising certain tribal areas of Assam and creation of local legislature or Council of Ministers, has been a demand across three hill districts Karbi Anglong, West Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao since the 1980s.
