The Assam government on Friday banned all cultural programmes, award functions and participation of school children for the Republic Day celebrations in the state in view of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A mob of over 500 men allegedly tried to force woman dancers of a troupe to strip during a cultural programme in Assam's Kamrup district, following which police arrested two persons involved in the incident, officials said Sunday.

With a variety of cuisines, refreshing cultural programmes, and discussions on important issues including the NRC list of Assam, the sixth edition of the popular North East festival is all set to begin on October 26.
