The Centre wants the governments of Assam and Nagaland to begin talks as part of an immediate road map to control the violence that has hit villages on the border of the two states. 15 adivasis or tribals from Assam have died in ethnic clashes with Nagas in the last one week.

With violence at the Assam-Nagaland border worsening, the Army conducted a flag march in Assam's Golaghat district this morning.

The violence in Golaghat district of Assam bordering Nagaland began as a land dispute between two men, says a central government note, also alleging that the dispute was fanned by local politicians, social activists and insurgent group, the NSCN (Khole Kitovi).

Concerned over the unabated violence along Assam-Nagaland border, Home Minister Rajnath Singh today telephoned chief ministers of Assam and Nagaland and asked them to defuse tension along the borders of the two states.

Two people have been killed in fresh clashes between the police and protesters today in Golaghat near the Assam-Nagaland border. The police said a mob of about 4000 adivasis or tribals, carrying bows and arrows and spears, attacked policemen and set fire to a picket.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sought a report from the Home Ministry on the Assam-Nagaland border violence.

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.

For almost a decade, some residents of Assam and Nagaland have been fighting over a 25-bigha area - no bigger than 20 football fields - in Golaghat district. The latest chapter of this ongoing violence has killed 15 people.

The death toll in firing and arson along the Assam-Nagaland border by alleged miscreants from Nagaland has increased to 11 with the recovery of nine more bodies from the disturbed Uriamghat area of Assam on Friday even as night curfew continued.
