The Army was on Friday deployed in Udalguri district of Assam following clashes between two communities in which two persons were killed and 15 injured, official sources said. Night curfew was imposed in the neighbouring Darrang district from where fresh incidents of arson and looting were reported, the sources said.

The body of Kandu Deka, killed in the clash, was found from a village in Darrang district. Earlier in the day, the body of an unidentified person, belonging to the minority community, was found in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s office at Udalguri. The situation was tense since Thursday after a group of people belonging to the minority community allegedly stole some cattle from the Bodo-dominated Mohanpur village. The villagers attacked them and clashes followed.
