OUR CORRESPONDENT

Silchar, Sept. 7: A disagreement between two groups over the construction of a building on a mosque land led to a free-for-all at Nilambazar town in Karimganj last night, forcing police to fire in the air and send patrol teams to pre-empt further clashes. Though there were no reports of unrest this morning, personnel from the Assam armed police and 15 India Reserve Battalion continued to patrol National Highway 44, which cuts through the town on the Indo-Bangladesh border. source: telegraph india
