Six Moran community unions of Assam have condemned the act of lathi charge on protesters in the Tinsukia district on Sunday. Meanwhile, in this regard, these unions have declared a 24-hour OIL blockade program from July 26.
Adding more in their statement the Moran Community Union stated, “During this period, OIL has to stop all digging, production, and transportation-related works”. They also said, “The protest had taken place because OIL has yet to give full compensation to the victims of the Baghjan blowout.”
The unions have demanded OIL to rig out a complete report on their spending over the years in the Tinsukia district within 24 hours. The Union has prepared a proposal which says to stop all the ‘anti-biodiversity’ works around the Maguri Motapung wetland and also demanded shifting of the 36-inch pipeline across the wetland to some other place. The unions have put forth a proposal to provide treatment for the protesters who sustained any injury in lathi-charge.
