Counter insurgency operations to continue

Assam government on Friday decided to carry on counter insurgency operations in the state despite some of the groups announcing unilateral ceasefire.

This was decided in Guwahati at a unified command meeting chaired by the state chief secretary Prafulla Sarma and attended by top government, army and intelligence officials.

The meeting welcomed the unilateral ceasefire declared by Karbi Longri National Liberation Front (KLNLF) and recommended to the state government to hold discussions with the outfit, official sources said.

The talks with the KLNLF should be held to bring to an end the violence that has rocked North Cachar hill district of late.

The meeting also decided to tighten security in other parts of the state in view of the increased activities of the insurgent outfits, the sources said.
