Indefinite curfew has been imposed in areas under a police station area in Assam's Karbi Anglong district following the killing of six persons, including two militants.
The curfew was clamped last night as the situation in Khowanigaon village under Chowkikhola police station remained tense after the burning down of houses last night, Karbi Anglong Superintendent of Police Mugdhajyoti Mahanta said.
Additional companies of paramilitary forces were rushed to the spot and senior police and civil officials were camping in the area.
The district administration set up three relief camps where villagers were accommodated.
A group of Karbi Peoples Liberation Tigers (KPLT) militants had swooped down on the village yesterday and opened fire killing four persons, including three women.
Following the attack, militants belonging to Naga Rengma Hills Protection Force launched a counter attack and killed two KPLT militants in a dense forest about five kilometres from the village.
