Tension Grips Assam-Arunachal Border at Bhalukpong After Alleged Assault on Assam Youth
Tension prevailed at Bhalukpong along the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border on Tuesday night following an alleged assault on a local youth from Assam.
According to reports, the incident took place amid an ongoing conflict between two communities in Arunachal Pradesh. The situation escalated after a youth from Bhalukpong was allegedly assaulted by some individuals from Arunachal Pradesh, triggering anger among local residents on the Assam side.
In protest against the incident, a large number of local residents staged a road blockade for several hours during the night, bringing movement along the route to a halt.
The situation was later brought under control following the intervention of Assam Police and Arunachal Pradesh Police, after which the road blockade was lifted and traffic movement was restored.
However, tension continues to prevail in the area. Local residents have urged the authorities to remain vigilant and take necessary steps to prevent any further untoward incidents.
