Watch: Clashes in Assam's Cachar area over Ram Temple posters, curfew imposed

Clashes broke out in the Cachar area of Assam over Ram Temple bhoomi poojan posters being put up by a few people.

Two groups of people first had a  verbal altercation over putting up the posters which quickly turned into stone pelting.

Security officials rushed to the area and the situation was quickly brought under control.

Armed paramilitary forces are presently guarding the area which has been sealed and curfew has been imposed to prevent any further flare-up.

There are no reports of any injuries or casualties from the area so far.

The incident comes days before the grand foundation laying ceremony in Ayodhya, which will be attended by PM Modi.

Preparations are underway in the temple town to make the event a big success.

Tight security has also been put in place to avoid any untoward incident.

The temple town has been turned into a virtual fortress for the event which will be attended by top dignitaries including the Prime Minister.
