According to Sarma, although the Tewary Commission report was tabled in the House in 1987 when the Asom Gana Parishad was in power, only one copy was sent to the Speaker.

“We will provide copies to all MLAs on Tuesday,” he said.

With barely a few months left for Assam to go to elections, some Opposition parties view the government’s move as politically motivated. However, Sarma termed it as an academic exercise.

“The copies will be made public to prevent this historic document from being lost to time,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Cabinet approved placing the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Assam Amendment) Bill, 2025, before the Assembly, thus paving the way for permitting the traditional buffalo fight during Magh Bihu celebrations, similar to Jallikattu in Tamil Nadu.

Twenty-seven Bills, approved by the State Cabinet, will be tabled during the five-day session, the chief minister said.
