Ethnic terror leaves 400,000 homeless

A TOP official in India’s remote north-east has appealed for an end to ethnic violence that has killed at least 45 people and left nearly 400,000 homeless in the past week.

Chief minister Tarun 
Gogoi said yesterday that clashes between ethnic Bodos and Muslim settlers in Assam state had spread fear and terror among both groups, and he urged both groups to stop fighting.
