This morning, thousands gathered in central Guwahati as riot police looked on, with residents hurrying out to buy essentials. The Meghalaya state government has also cut off mobile internet, with parts of the capital Shillong brought under curfew since yesterday evening. The two demonstrators killed in the city were among around 20 people being treated in hospital, “a few” of whom had gunshot wounds, said Ramen Talukdar, a doctor at a Guwahati hospital.
