The [[Nellie massacre]] and [[Khoirabari massacre]] were some cases of extreme violence. The unrest officially ended on 15 August 1985, following the [[Assam Accord]], which was signed by leaders of AASU-AAGSP and the [[Government of India]]. During this period of six long years of the historic movement as reported 855(later on 860 as submitted by AASU) nos of peoples sacrificed their lives in the hope of an "Infiltration Free Assam" in the 1979-1985 Assam agitation.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.assamaccord.assam.gov.in/ |title=Martyrs of Assam Agitation |access-date=2021-07-27 |archive-date=2021-03-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210305200645/https://assamaccord.assam.gov.in/ |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>[https://www.telegraphindia.com/states/north-east/assam-prafulla-mahanta-not-to-campaign-for-agp-to-protest-alliance-with-bjp/cid/1686834 Assam: Prafulla Mahanta not to campaign for AGP to protest alliance with BJP]</ref>
