There is no immediate word from official sources about the Chief Minister visiting the area.  

Heavily armed NDFB-S militants had gunned down 18 persons on Friday night and torched over 100 houses since the militant outfit started its mayhem against a minority community in the BTAD's twin districts of Baksa and Kokrajhar from May one.  

Altogether 32 people were killed in the violence, several others injured and thousands rendered homeless in the two districts.

Meanwhile, indefinite curfew imposed in neighbouring Chirang district of the Bodoland Territorial Administrative District (BTAD) since Friday night was relaxed for six hours from 10 am today, district administration said.
