Attacks on Assamese people by suspected Naga militants at Merapani along the Assam-Nagaland border in Golaghat district continue with a group of Nagas burning down a house at Upper Merapani on Wednesday night.
The Naga militants also forced about 100 Assamese families to vacate their residential land on the foothills along the border and occupied the area.
"A group of armed Naga militants, some of whom we suspect were NSCN(IM) cadres, burnt down my home on Wednesday night and chased my family out of the village. They also tried to kill us by shooting at us, but we somehow managed to escape. There are five women and four children in my family, besides me. Now, we are taking shelter at Merapani town and have no place to stay as all our properties were razed to the ground along with the house," said a resident of Upper Merapani village.
