The concerted efforts and relentless pursuit by Khonsa and Longding Battalion of Assam Rifles and Longding Police along with CRPF to convince the active cadres of various underground organisations to come and join mainstream paid dividends.
“Five weapons and other warlike stores were recovered from cadres during the surrender. The cadres revealed hard life as insurgents and have appealed to their fellow cadres to give up violence to lead normal life,” a statement said.
The surrender of cadres is likely to motivate other cadres of various groups to join the mainstream in the future and further weaken the underground organisations.
