This morning, a shooting incident at the border between Assam and Arunachal Pradesh resulted in the death of one individual and two injuries. The event was recorded in Assam’s Dhemaji district, along the shared border between the two northeastern states. According to early accounts, three individuals who were planting plants and seedlings on the Assam side of the wall were shot by individuals from Arunachal Pradesh who had crossed the boundary.
Boga Chutia has been identified as the deceased. Pushpa and Montu Gogoi have been named among the injured.
Himanta Biswa Sarma, the chief minister of Assam, claimed that some criminals do it in exchange for land, but he has requested the district collector and the SP to look into it.
“We haven’t resolved the border problem yet. The neighboring state often doesn’t attack us. Some criminals carry out this activity for land. I’ve requested DC and SP to look into the matter,” he declared.
The superintendent of police in Dhemaj stated that he has contacted the Arunachal Pradesh government and asked for assistance in finding the culprits.
“We’ve already given the lower Siang administration a call. They will arrive soon. Upon arriving at the scene, Ranjan Bhuyan, Superintendent of Police, Dhemaj, addressed the crowd that we already had notified them that we needed their assistance to apprehend the culprits.

The arrangement was described as a “big and successful” event by the chief minister of Assam. Pema Khandu, his colleague from Arunachal Pradesh, called the agreement “historic”.
