After the new BJP government came in power in Assam, there was peace and calm in the state. But the prevailing calm was broken on Friday when a group of suspected militants  of National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-S) opened fire at a busy market near Kokrajhar, killing at least 14 civilians and leaving more than 20 others injured. It is reported that the terrorists came in an auto-rickshaw and started firing at a weekly market at Balajan Tiniali, around 220 km from Guwahati. One of the attackers also threw a grenade, setting off a fire at a building. Security forces killed one terrorist but the rest escaped. A thorough search is going on for the miscreants.
