Miscreants had over the past few days smeared some hoardings in black to protest the “imposition” of the Assamese language in Barak Valley, where Bengali is the official language.
The Barak Valley is located in the southern region of the Indian state of Assam.
The region is named after the Barak river.
The Barak valley mainly consists of three administrative districts of Assam - namely Cachar, Karimganj, and Hailakandi.
