Stir mutes New Year buzz in Assam

Many hotels withdraw programmes; tourists cancel travel bookings

The State-wide protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) dampened the New Year celebrations in Assam.

With popular singers and musicians taking the lead in the anti-CAA stir, very few functions were organised on New Year’s eve.

Many hotels avoided “confrontation with the agitators” by cancelling programmes.
