Violence and arson along the Assam-Nagaland border by alleged miscreants has claimed two lives so far with the recovery of one more body from the disturbed Uriamghat area as Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi held the CRPF responsible for failing to provide security to the people.
‘Security forces have recovered one body this morning(Thurday). We have not been able to identify him yet. With this, the total number of dead has gone up to two in last two days,’ Assam Additional director general of police (Law and Order) AP Rout said. Besides, three more persons were injured since the beginning of the violence, he said.
Rout said around 200 houses of around 1,000 people were burnt and they are living in relief camps.
‘In total, over 10,000 people have left their homes and are living in 10 relief camps opened by the state government,’ he added.
Rout said seven villages, including Chetiagaon, Rumanbasti, Tenpur, Lachitgaon and Jadhajibasti which fall under Sector B of the Assam-Nagaland border, have been affected.
‘CRPF has set up camps in all the seven villages. One Assam police company is also working under the CRPF as the place is a disputed and neutral area,’ Rout added.
