Goalpara: The Assam Nath Jogi Students’ Union in its Goalpara district convention at Budhipara Agia on Friday demanded a satellite-based autonomous council for their people living around the State. “The constitutional rights of the Nath Jogi people should be given a safeguard through this autonomous council,” said state president Lakkhan Nath.

On the other hand, state secretary Aravinda Nath demanded the Nath Jogi people be given the Scheduled Tribe status. “Not only that, reservation of assembly seats should be made available for our people based on majority,” he said.
