More than 70 people are reported hurt as the leaders of Assam and Mizoram blame each other for the deadly violence.
At least seven people, including six police officers, were killed and more than 70 hurt on Monday in clashes between two Indian states, as a weeks-long territorial dispute in the country’s northeast turned deadly. The leaders of Assam and neighbouring Mizoram, which have been wrangling about their border for decades, blamed each other for the deadly violence. “We have lost six of our policemen and a civilian along the Assam-Mizoram border when miscreants from Mizoram opened gunfire,” Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma told the Reuters news agency.More Related News
