The Centre has authorised the Assam government to deploy more than 11,000 paramilitary personnel in the state's violence-hit districts and dispatched a C-135 heavy lift aircraft with medical teams and supplies.   

So far 7,300 personnel of paramilitary forces have been deployed in strife-torn Kokrajhar, Chirang and Dhubridistricts after moving them from other states in the wake of clashes between Bodos and minority immigrants there.   

In addition, the state has been authorised to use 11,600 men of paramilitary forces to bring back normalcy in the worst affected areas.   

Home Secretary R K Singh said teams of the National Disaster Relief Force along with experts in drinking water and sanitation issues have been rushed to the affected areas in the same aircraft.
