An eerie silence prevails in Lailapool along on Assam-Mizoram Road a day after at least 15 policemen including a senior police officer sustained injured when they clashed with a group of protesters on Wednesday.
The entire orgy of violence has forced the authorities to clamp curfew in the area from Wednesday night. Local residents are remaining confined to their houses. Security forces are fanning on the streets to deal with the miscreants who attacked the policemen.
The injured have been undergoing treatment at the Silchar Medical College Hospital. The incident took place when the local residents blocked the road demanding the withdrawal of a toll gate. When requested, the protesters refused to clear the road and instead clashed with the policemen.
