GUWAHATI: Members of the Gauhati High Court Bar Association (GHCBA) on Thursday began a three-day hunger strike to protest the Assam government's decision to shift the Gauhati High Court to North Guwahati, intensifying opposition to the proposed judicial township at Rangmahal.

The protest, scheduled to be held for six hours each day, commenced at 10 a.m. in front of the old High Court building at Uzan Bazar.

The agitation follows a resolution adopted at an emergent extraordinary general meeting of the Bar Association earlier this week.
