8 Injured As Groups Clash For 2nd Straight Day In Assam's Karbi Anglong

Eight people, including police personnel, were injured, and shops and motorcycles vandalised, as two groups of tribal communities clashed in Kheroni in Assam's West Karbi Anglong district – over alleged encroachment on protected tribal lands – for a second consecutive day.

Protesters threw stones at each other, and cops who tried to restore order with a lathi charge and firing of tear gas, as the already volatile situation worsened, prompting authorities to tighten security measures, including the deployment of over 100 cops to prevent any further escalation.
