This is the situation in Assam today.

The Army staged flag marches in worst-hit Kokrajhar and curfew was relaxed in some of the affected districts. A body was found floating in river Gouranga in Dhubri district while 11 people were reported missing on the eighth day of the strife, official sources said.

In Baksa district, where clashes between minority immigrants and Bodos were reported only yesterday, unidentified persons torched three houses at Simla in Daodhar village, they said. There was no casualty or injury.

In the other three riot-torn BTAD districts of Kokrajhar, Chirang and Dhubri, stray attacks and counter-attacks by the two communities continued. Curfew was relaxed today in Kokrajhar district from 6 am to 6 pm, while it was relaxed from 8 am to 10 pm in the minority-dominated Dhubri district.

Night curfew will continue in Chirang, the sources said. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is scheduled to visit Kokrajhar district, which has seen the maximum number of casualties, tomorrow to review the situation.
