Violence erupted in Assam's West Karbi Anglong district on December 22-23, resulting in 173 Assam Police and CRPF personnel injured. The unrest stemmed from a 15-day hunger strike by the Karbi community demanding the eviction of alleged illegal settlers from grazing lands. Tensions escalated after police removed protesters, leading to clashes, a civilian death by police firing, and another by being burned alive. Authorities have deployed additional forces, suspended internet, and held tripartite meetings to de-escalate the situation, with the Chief Minister assuring action on land use.
