A combined Opposition staged a walkout in Assam Assembly on Monday after the Speaker refused an adjournment motion moved by the Congress for discussion on alleged encroachment attempts by neighbouring Meghalaya. The Opposition parties also expressed dissatisfaction over the government's failure to respond on the report of an all-party Assembly delegation that had recently visited the tense interstate border with Mizoram, following violent clashes on July 26 that left seven people dead on the Assam side.
