An uneasy calm has returned to West Karbi Anglong, Assam, following days of violence between Karbi and Bihari communities over alleged encroachment on grazing lands. The unrest, which resulted in two deaths and numerous injuries, including police personnel, led to the deployment of the Army for flag marches. Assam's Chief Minister stated that demands for eviction of settlers cannot be immediately met due to a Gauhati High Court stay order. Security measures, including prohibitory orders and data suspension, remain in place as authorities work towards restoring normalcy.
