The Army has taken out flag march in the city to tackle the deteriorating law and order situation due to violent protests against the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB), 2019.
Earlier in the morning, at least four protestors were injured during clashes with security personnel at Lalung Gaon in Guwahati.
While the CAB, 2019 was passed in the Lok Sabha on the intervening night of Monday and Tuesday, the bill was passed in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday night.
