Protesters tried to put up blockades on railway tracks this afternoon in order to disrupt train services in Sivasagar, as part of the protest against Citizenship Amendment Bill.

As per reports, activists of Chatra Mukti Sangram Samiti and All Tai Ahom Students Union (ATASU) tried to prevent train movement of Tinsukia- Lumding express (DW) at Amguri in Sivasagar.
