Digboi is an assembly constituency in Assam's Tinsukia district, part of the Dibrugarh Lok Sabha area, renowned as India's oldest oil town with refineries, tea gardens, and a semi-urban profile. Suren Phukan of BJP is the current MLA, elected in 2021 and re-elected from 2016. In 2021, he won with 59,217 votes (55per cent share), defeating INC's Sibanath Chetia (32,241 votes, 30per cent) by a margin of 26,976 votes. Oil refinery-related pollution, employment beyond the energy sector, and infrastructure like roads amid rapid urbanization strain resources. Flooding from nearby rivers and youth job creation in tea estates persist, alongside demands for better healthcare and education access.
