| [ARABNEWS] About 10,000 people have fled their homes in northeast India as violence surged over a border dispute that has left some 15 people dead, officials said Thursday. Residents of remote Assam have sought shelter in makeshift camps set up by the state government after gunnies from neighboring Nagaland launched attacks from across the border, a top official said. "About 10,000 people were rendered homeless after unidentified gunnies from the Nagaland side attacked Assam villagers and set ablaze hundreds of houses forcing them to flee," Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi told news hounds in Assam's main city of Guwahati. |
