GAUHATI, India (AP) — Protesting tea plantation workers in India's remote northeast clashed with area residents Saturday, in violence that left six people dead and 60 others injured, police said.

A group of nearly 10,000 workers from tea plantations all over the state of Assam, led by the All Assam Tea Tribes Students Association, had been marching in the state capital of Gauhati to demand that the government recognize them as a separate tribal group. Ethnic Adivasis make up the majority of the workers on tea plantations in Assam.

Clashes erupted when the marchers pelted shops and vehicles with stones, witnesses said, adding that police opened fire to quell the violence.

Six died and at least 60 more were injured in the fighting, said Rajen Singh, a local police official. He did not confirm the witness reports of police shooting.
