Assam: Several injured in clash over land dispute In Goroimari
Guwahati: In yet another day of violence, several people were injured during a clash between two groups over a land dispute in Goroimari of Assam on Sunday morning.

The other injured were identified as Ziarul Haque, Nazrul Haque, Hanif, Lalbhanu Nesa, and Nazira Begum.
All of them were immediately shifted to Goroimari hospital for medical attention.
Nazira Begum continues to be in critical condition while some patients received treatment and were discharged.
