The displaced express deep frustration over the lack of progress, with some feeling abandoned even after visits by Supreme Court judges. The camps have become places of suffering, with calls for urgent government action to allow returns to their homes and restore safety and normalcy Please let us return to our homes, said a displaced resident, highlighting the emotional plea of those trapped in ongoing displacement.

Due to Lapangap violence that killed a Karbi man, three people were arrested in Meghalaya.
Three youths were arrested by Meghalaya Police for their involvement in the October 9, 2025, violence at Lapangap village, West Jaintia Hills district, which led to the death of Orivel Timung, a 45-year-old Karbi man from Tahpat village, Assam’s West Karbi Anglong district. The arrested individuals are Pyrchang Dakhar from Lapangap, Everyshine Tyngkan from Saba, and Deibormi Bhoi Lamare from Barato-B. The clash erupted over disputed paddy fields between villagers from Meghalaya and Assam during a harvest, triggering violence despite police presence aimed at maintaining peace. Following the incident, a curfew was imposed in the border area to prevent further escalation, and peace meetings were conducted by officials from both states to restore calm. The long-standing territorial dispute between Meghalaya and Assam continues to challenge peace efforts in this sensitive border area. Investigation is ongoing to hold all responsible parties accountable.
