The situation quickly escalated when a group from Assam arrived at the site and confronted the villagers. The verbal exchange intensified, leading to a physical clash between residents of both states. Witnesses reported that several women became victims of the altercation, with some allegedly assaulted and their clothes torn during the scuffle.

Maikhuli villagers said they pulled down the poles in the morning, claiming the area falls within Meghalaya’s jurisdiction. After removing the poles, they returned to their homes, but tensions rose again when individuals from Assam confronted them at the disputed site.

As the confrontation turned violent, both Meghalaya and Assam district authorities responded swiftly. Officials from both states rushed to the scene and managed to bring the situation under control before further violence could erupt.
