Hundreds of protesters under the banner of the Karbi Students Association and various other organizations marched towards the KAAC headquarters to press for their demands this morning.
When the protestors attempted to storm the headquarters of the KAAC, police resorted to blank firing and lathi charges to stop them.
During this, many protestors were injured, and they are now undergoing treatment in a nearby hospital.
