The Assam police assisted by Meghalaya police rescued as many as 250 people from Ichamati in Shella. These people were reportedly stranded in the area following the violent clashes.

The rescued persons were brought to Jorabat police station where the identification process was carried out. The stranded persons hail from Kamrup, Nalbari, Barpeta, Dhubri besides several other districts in Assam.

The MLA believes peace will prevail in Meghalaya as the Centre and the state government is making all out efforts to restore normalcy.
