The Kamatapur State Demand Council held a mass meeting on Sunday to press the government for several long-standing community demands.

The Kamatapur State Demand Council (KSDC) reiterated its demand for a separate Kamatapur state during a mass gathering in Kokrajhar on Sunday. According to NENow, the event took place at the playground of the Kokrajhar Government HS and MP School.

The organisation also called for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status for the Koch Rajbongshi community and the release of Kamatapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) chairman Jibon Singha. Additionally, the KSDC requested that the Koch Rajbongshi language be included in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution.

Addressing the media, KSDC leaders urged the government to meet these demands as soon as possible. The gathering was organised to seek action regarding long-standing issues facing the Koch Rajbongshi community.

The KSDC warned that it would intensify its agitation and start a larger movement in the coming days if the demands are not addressed.
