Ground Zero report: In Kokrajhar, the foreigner debate revisited?
Just when it seems that the troubled parts of lower Assam would finally get back its normal routine, hopes are belied. Last evening, when a group of people were returning to their village, they were waylaid and 5 people lost their lives. The local administration went by the easiest option in a bureaucrat's rulebook and imposed "indefinite curfew." For 40 years, dominant theme in Assam has been illegal migration. As violence continues, the state is witnessing the same again.
