Guwahati: The district
administration of troubled Kokrajhar of Bodoland Territorial Area
Districts (BTAD) of Assam imposed indefinite curfew Thursday
morning after suspected militants shot one person dead and stabbed
another in two separate incidents in the district.
The Army, which was called in Wednesday night to handle the
situation in Kokrajhar, carried out flag march in all the
sensitive areas of the district Thursday morning.
While the first incident took place during indefinite curfew in
Kokrajhar, where suspected militants stabbed one Abul Kalam, the
second incident took place at Telipara under Gosaigaon subdivision
in the district where suspected militants shot dead one Nirisan
Basumatary.
"The district administration has imposed indefinite curfew in view
of the continued violence Thursday in Kokrajhar," said IGP (BTAD)
G.P. Singh, while talking to IANS Thursday and added that Army had
conducted flag march in all the sensitive areas of the district.
Singh said the condition of the person, injured during the attack
in the weekly market in Kokrajhar Thursday, is serious.
The Kokrajhar and Chirang districts, which form Assam's BTAD along
with Udalguri and Baksa, had witnessed one of the worst communal
clashes earlier this year which led to killing of over 100 people
and displacement of over four lakh others from their homes.
