The members of KPC along with local citizens while paying tribute to Bhuyan observed a silent protest with the display of placards that demanded justice to the family members.

The anniversary-cum- protest programme was held at Kakopathar Hindi School with Bijoy Dutta, president of KPC, in the chair. Among those who addressed the gathering was Monuranjan Neog, president & Dwipen Lohokor, secretary i/c of APCU Tinsukia district committee, Bikash Talukdar, secretary, AJYCP, Kakopathar Ancholik committee, Ancholik leaders of AASU and AMSU besides others.
