The high-power committee for implementation of Clause 6 of Assam Accord had submitted its report to the State Government in February 2020.
Assam minister Himanta Biswa Sarma in September last year had informed that Home Minister Amit Shah wanted the report to be examined by the Assam Government because “the recommendations require constitutional and legal changes”.
