TANGLA: Amidst tight security arrangement on Independence Day, miscreants hoisted a black flag in the premises of Milanjyoti ME School at Amjuli, 20 km towards the north-west of Udalguri along the Indo-Bhutan border, on Wednesday.

Ahead of the hoisting of the tricolor, the locals spotted an unfurled black flag, following which the school authorities reached the spot and brought down the flag. The authorities suspect it to be a handiwork of miscreants. The Harisinga Police, led by Additional Superintendent of Police Abhijit Gaurav, seized the flag.

Police sources chose not to comment as the investigation is on but the role of the outlawed rebel outfits which have active presence in the Indo-Bhutan border areas cannot be ruled out.
