They called for unity within the Hindu community to address these challenges collectively and effectively.
The demonstrators also highlighted the rising cases of crimes against women in Dima Hasao, particularly referencing a recent molestation case involving a young girl from the Zeme community. They urged the police and district administration to take stringent action against the perpetrators, ensuring justice for the victims.
