Assam to put language clause in govt job offers

The Sarbananda Sonowal-led NDA government is set to make the ability to speak and write in Assamese mandatory for people seeking state government jobs. "If one does not know how to write in Assamese, one will not be able to apply for a state government job. The move is aimed at protecting the Assamese language,” said minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
