Times of India | TNN | May 3, 2012, 10.25PM IST, JORHAT:
Six members of the All Adivasi Students Association of Assam (Aasaa) sustained serious injuries when a group of Naga miscreants attacked the students at Namtola area in Sivasagar district on Thursday. The injured are now undergoing treatment at Charaideu Civil Hospital and all of them are out of danger.
The incident occurred at Namtola area near the Assam-Nagaland border when a group of students from the Adivasi students' body blocked the Namtola-Nagaland road in protest against the attack on Assamese people in Nagaland. A group of Nagas arrived at the spot and started attacking the agitators. They pelted stones on the students, leaving six of them critically injured.
"We blocked the road for 24 hours in protest against the attack on our people visiting Nagaland. We demanded that the atrocities on our villagers along the Assam-Nagaland border be stopped and peace be restores among people of both the states. But, a group of miscreants attacked us during our protest and injured six picketers," an Aasaa leader said.
