[India] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 5, 2025, the All Muslim Students' Union staged a peaceful protest in Nagaon town, Assam, opposing the Waqf Amendment Act 2025, which they claim violates Muslim rights. The demonstration occurred near Dhing Gate and was classified as low severity with no reported violence or disruptions.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Given the peaceful nature and localized scope of this single protest, immediate supply chain disruption appears minimal.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation or spread of similar protests across Assam or other Indian states with significant Muslim populations
• Track any government response or counter-protests that could lead to broader civil unrest affecting regional logistics
