The development comes after curfew was relaxed in some parts of the state for the next 16 hours from 6 Am on Saturday. Notably, Internet was restored in the state on Friday after Gauhati High Court ordered the state government to do so.

Earlier in the day, Sonowal had invited anti-CAA protesters of his state for talks with him. During talks with them, he said that his government would identify the unholy forces which fomented the trouble and take strict action against them. Though normalcy is steadily returning to the state, educational institutions across the state are still remain shut.
