DNLA C-in-C Mushrang also joined the mainstream after the ceremony.
A police source said, “The outfit announced an unconditional ceasefire for six months and on Sept 24 its ‘chairman’, Edika Diphusa alias Kharmindao Dimasa came to the fore to hold peace talks with the government.”
Talking to reporters, NCHAC CEM Debolal Gorlosa earlier said, “There was no development in the last 50 years. Now Dima Hasao is experiencing progress. We are massively working in the tourism sector.”
