Guwahati, India: India’s Assam state said on Tuesday it will deploy 4,000 commandos to guard its border with a rival state after six police officers were killed in a gunbattle between the feuding neighbours. More than 60 others were injured in the rare showdown Monday on Assam’s border with Mizoram. The two have been wrangling over their border for decades.
