Fresh clashes erupted between protesters from Assam and Arunachal Pradesh in Dhemaji district on Wednesday, with police firing shots to disperse a crowd. The violence came amid a local groups' economic blockade of Itanagar, launched to protest an alleged police firing that injured 11 indigenous people from Assam. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma called for peace as tensions along the border escalated. Reports say the blockade, which began Wednesday, has made the border area tense. Police opened fire to break up the crowd, though no further injuries were reported in the latest incident. The economic blockade is aimed at pressuring Arunachal authorities over the earlier shooting. Both sides have been on edge as the protest continues. The fresh clash follows days of unrest stemming from the alleged firing on indigenous Assamese people. Authorities have not yet commented on the police action or the blockade's impact. The situation remains under watch, with officials appealing for calm.
