These cadres were caught when they came to attend a meeting inside the forest.
A huge quantity of weapons and war like stores were recovered from the militants which includes a total of seven pistols.
Apprehension of these seven cadres and busting of the recruitment racket has given a severe blow to the KLO which has been trying hard to gain importance after surrender of NDFB.
The operation of this magnitude and coordinated efforts of police and armed forces will help in lowering the morale of these organization and put them on back foot and ensure peace in Kokrajhar, said an officer who was part of the operation.
Sources said the investigation has been going on to gather more information from them .
