Opposition parties in Assam plan to submit a memorandum to the Governor demanding compensation and relief for victims of recent violence in West Karbi Anglong. The unrest, which resulted in deaths and injuries, is alleged by the opposition to be a political conspiracy fueled by a 'divide and rule' policy. They also criticize the state government's handling of the law and order situation and alleged corruption within the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council. The violence reportedly stemmed from disputes over land encroachment allegations between the Karbi and Bihari communities.
