Assam Govt Orders Probe To Inquire Death & Firing In Darrang

Following the death of two civilians and injury to several others, including policemen, the Assam Government has initiated a judicial probe into the matter. The scuffle between the personnel and the people in the Darrang district Dhalpur area broke out following the police launched an anti-encroachment drive on September 23. Reportedly, people on the spot started pelting stones at the police that led to retaliatory firing for safety.
