Assam: On the call of bandh against CAA, DGP said - there will be a loss of Rs 1643 crore daily, will recover from the agitators
Assam: On the opposition's call for bandh against CAA, DGP Gyanendra Pratap Singh said that due to this the state will suffer a loss of more than Rs 1.5 thousand crore in a day. He warned that those who called for the bandh would be compensated for this.
Opposition parties in Assam have called for a statewide bandh against the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). At the same time, State Director General of Police (DGP) Gyanendra Pratap Singh warned on Thursday that due to this there will be a loss of about Rs 1,643 crore in a day. Its recovery will be done only by those who called the bandh.
A day earlier, the state's United Opposition Forum of Assam (UofA) announced that a statewide strike would be called the day after the implementation of the controversial law. The next day, Janata Bhawan (Secretariat) would have been surrounded.
The DGP has shared two pages of the Gauhati High Court order on the social media platform 'X'. This is a 2019 decision of the High Court on bandh. He said, Assam's GSDP (Gross State Domestic Product) is Rs 5,65,401 crore. One day's closure will result in a loss of approximately Rs 1,643 crore. This loss can be recovered from those calling for the bandh as per para 35 (9) of the High Court order.
