Assam Police on Friday allowed the goods-laden trucks to enter Meghalaya, for the first time after tensions sore between the two states following the firing incident along the border on Tuesday, according to an official.
The firing incident that took place after a clash between Meghalaya villagers and a contingent of police and forest guards from Assam has nothing to do with the border dispute between the two states, said Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
At least six people were killed in the firing incident that took place after a clash between a mob and a contingent of police and forest guards from Assam on Tuesday.
In a joint operation, Assam police and Border Security Force (BSF) apprehended one Bangladeshi national in Assam's South Salmara Mankachar district along the Indo-Bangladesh border, police said on Sunday.
