Boundary Demarcation – 2003

Over the next few years, the BLT became the de facto guardian organization of the Bodo movement. On 10 February 2003, a new Bodo Accord for the creation of the Bodololand Territorial Council was signed by the BLT, the central government, and the Assam government.¹ The new accord created four new districts. The BTC compromised by apparently relinquishing 3,082 villages where the Bodos were in majority.² However, the 2003 accord was different.
