Karbi Community

The Centre, along with the Assam government, today signed the Karbi Peace Accord, promising Rs 1,000 crore over five years for development of the tribe's native region. Over 1,000 former terrorists have surrendered in the run up to today's deal.

Eleven people have been arrested after a man was beaten to death and three others critically injured by a mob in Assam's Biswanath district that suspected them to be cattle thieves on Thursday. All those arrested are from the Adivasi community who work in the Diplunga Tea Estate, about 250 km from Guwahati.

The videos that went viral showed the two men being thrashed in Assam's Karbi Anglong by local tribals. A crackdown has not only led to several arrests -- those who were part of the mob, including the main accused, as well those who were spreading fake news, rumours and communal hatred on social media after the gruesome incident.

Three days after two men were beaten to death in Assam's Karbi Anglong by a mob which mistook them for child kidnappers, 19 people have been arrested. The police have also cracked down on those spreading rumours on social media and circulating fake news with inflammatory content that could spark off communal clashes in the state.

Attacking the 15-year Congress rule in Assam and former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who represents the state in Rajya Sabha, over "lack of development", Prime Minister Narendra Modi today launched BJP's election campaign Kokrajhar by announcing a slew of initiatives, including tribal status to two communities.

There is no end to tension on the Assam-Nagaland border with many areas, especially those on the Assam side, are either under curfew or under prohibitory orders following clashes between the Karbi and the Rengma Naga communities since the last week of December that has seen more than 16 deaths so far.
