Over 20 houses have been burnt down at the height of a group clash at a tiny village along Assam-Meghalaya border on Saturday.
A group of miscreants armed with weapons suddenly stormed into a small village in Byrnihat in the afternoon and unleashed terror with blank firing. The local residents started fleeing from their houses. Then the miscreants set on fire around 20 houses including 10 shops.
Guwahati police and their Meghalaya counterparts reached the spot and brought the situation under control. The extent of damage is yet to be ascertained.
