Two labourers were killed and another seriously injured in fresh violence in riot-hit lower Assam on Wednesday taking the overall death toll to 80.
Unidentified assailants fired on a group of minority labourers working in a brick kiln field at Bangaldoba in Dhubri district killing two of them and injuring another, police sources said.
The attack took place during relaxation of day curfew following improvement in the situation.
Dhubri deputy commissioner Kumud Chandra Kalita and senior police officials rushed to the spot.
The injured labourer was admitted to the civil hospital at Dhubri.
Night curfew is continuing in Dhubri, Kokrajhar and Chirang districts.
The violence in lower Assam has led to exodus from other states because of a fear psychosis.
Meanwhile, 8,186 refugees have left camps for home in in Kokrajhar and Chirang districts though those in temporary shelters in Dhubri and Bongaigaon continued to stay, official sources said.

Rajaram, you are talking like a typical Brahmin Bureaucrat. Maybe your are one. How will Centre dismiss Assam Govt, when it is a Congress Govt? There is only one simple solution for Assam and NE and Rest of India. Throw out all the Illegals Bangladesis and Pakistanis in India, by force. That is the only way it works. Otherwise you are looking at the Next Partition of India. So you can choose what you want.
