Violence continued to rock Karbi Anglong district where various government offices were torched and train tracks removed by activists of different organisations on Saturday demanding a separate state on the lines of Telangana.

The agitationists set ablaze veterinary, irrigation, agriculture, health, Integrated Child Development Service and Public Works Department offices across the district last night, officials said on Saturday. The protestors removed a portion of the railway track between Diphu and Doldoli stations, halting train movement, they said.

The indefinite curfew in West Karbi Anglong police district continued today, while prohibitory order in the district headquarters town of Diphu was relaxed for three hours from 8 am on Saturday, they said.
