Guwahati: Tension erupted in Kokrajhar on June 18 as prospective bidders alleged they were prevented from participating in the tender process for markets under the Bodoland Territorial Council. The incident occurred at the Bodoland Guest House, where an open tender programme was held to settle 112 general markets and 23 cattle markets located across the five districts of the Bodoland Territorial Region.
Reports indicate that the atmosphere grew uneasy after claims emerged that specific individuals faced obstacles while attempting to submit their documentation. The situation led to a significant police presence at the venue, with officers deployed to maintain order and prevent potential escalation.
Authorities have monitored the developments closely as the process continues under heightened security measures. Officials have yet to provide a detailed response to the claims, and the regional administration has not issued an official statement. One source described the scene as having an "uneasy atmosphere at the venue" while security teams worked to manage the crowd.
