From neewkerala.com

Agartala, Nov 18 : The civil administration has called for a peace meeting tomorrow following a clash between the Border Security Force (BSF) and villagers of bordering localities in Sonamura in the western boundary of Tripura yesterday.


Police said here today the villagers had registered a case against two BSF jawans of 77 battalion alleging that they had been prevented to attend Id-U-Zuha Namaz in mosque beyond the wire fence.

The villagers alleged that the BSF prevented them to attend the Namaz. Two villagers were also injured in dog bites and admitted to a nearby hospital.

Meanwhile, the BSF officials denied the allegation and said that the villagers had assembled early morning and pressurised them to open the gate before time but for security reasons they did not agree to the proposal.
