The outrage of protests has been most intense, sustained and widespread in Assam. Large parts of other north-eastern states have been exempted from the CAB whereas, the larger part of Assam is under CAB.

There are 2 categories that are exempted-states protected by Inner Line & those areas covered under the 6th Schedule of the Constitution.
