21 injured in Assam-Nagaland border as protesters, police clash

A two-km stretch of Assam-Nagaland border in Golaghat turned into a battlefield today, with Assamese protesters blockading the highway and targeting the police. When batons and tear gas failed to work, the police opened fire. At the end of it, one person was dead — run over by a truck during the lathicharge — and 21 people had to be hospitalised.
