Tensions flared in Assam’s Dhubri district after cattle remains were discovered near temples during Eid celebrations, sparking communal unrest. Authorities responded with strict measures, including nighttime shoot-on-sight orders and the arrest of 38 people. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who visited the area, also raised alarms about posters allegedly linked to a secessionist group calling for Dhubri to merge with Bangladesh—adding another layer of complexity to the situation.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another isolated clash—it’s a worrying escalation in a region already sensitive to communal and political tensions. The discovery of cattle remains near temples during a major Muslim festival is a flashpoint that risks deepening divisions, while the mention of secessionist rhetoric hints at broader geopolitical stakes. How authorities handle this could set the tone for stability (or unrest) in the region moving forward.
