GUWAHATI, Feb 14 ? The 36-hour Assam bandh called by the Sanmilita Janagosthiya Sangram Samity, Assam, in protest against the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) agreement passed off peacefully throughout lower Assam today. The bandh was total and spontaneous, claimed the Samity in a statement. The bandh had begun at 5 pm yesterday and will end at 5 am tomorrow. Thanking the people for their support to the bandh, the Samity said it has reaffirmed their assertion that the majority of the people were against the BTC which was nothing but a ploy to divide the people and destroy the state.
