Mangalore Today / CNN-IBN

Guwahati, August 25: There seems to be no end to the crisis in Assam as at least five people have been killed in fresh violence in the Chirang district of the state.

Following the fresh violence, an indefinite curfew has been imposed in the Chirang district.

 

 

They were reportedly killed while returning to their village from a relief camp.

Over two thousand people, who fled their villages in fear owing to the clashes, have been living in relief camps in the state.

Nearly 80 people have died in the last one month in ethnic violence in parts of Lower Assam between the indigenous Bodo tribals and Muslim settlers.
