On April 17, a fire broke out at a shop storing inflammable liquids in Gamphazol Village. Prompt action by nearby Assam Rifles troops, who arrived with firefighting equipment and water carriers, prevented the flames from spreading further. Two civilians sustained minor injuries and were given immediate medical aid by the Assam Rifles medical team.
