Clause 6 of the Assam Accord mandates that the cultural, social, and linguistic identity and heritage of the Assamese people should be safeguarded through constitutional, legislative, and administrative measures.

In his post on X, the Assam Chief Minister highlighted key decisions taken by the cabinet regarding the implementation of the recommendations. The recommendations will apply statewide, excluding the 6th Schedule areas and Barak Valley.
