Tension Escalates as Nagaland-Arson Sparks Outrage in Assam's Golaghat

In a dramatic turn of events, several houses in the Golaghat district of Assam were allegedly set on fire by suspected miscreants from Nagaland, as reported by a senior official on Friday.

The incident unfolded in the early hours at Tengatal of Uriamghat in Sector B, Sarupathar, along the contentious state border. The sleeping villagers were caught unawares by the blaze, which resulted in substantial property damage. Fortunately, no injuries or fatalities were reported.

Authorities, including local police and CRPF personnel, promptly reached the scene to address the situation, which remains under control yet tense. Given the area's remote location, further details are awaited to shed light on the motives behind this unsettling occurrence.
