GAURIPUR, May 29 - A section of miscreants around Agomani circle in Dhubri district have been trying to disturb communal harmony among all sections of people by placing beef-steaks in front of some temples.
Over and above this, more than 200 inhabitants of Tufanganj sub-division of North Bengal fled from their villages as they were threatened by activists of some political parties and they reportedly took shelter at Kherbari Part-II village under Golakganj Police Station.
