Militant camp busted in Karbi hills, one cadre held

Guwahati, May 30 (UNI) A camp of the KLNLF was busted by Karbi Anglong police during a joint operation with CRPF last night.

Karbi Anglong SP Anurag Tankha told UNI the joint operation was conducted at Paklangso Pahar located deep in Langlakso jungle, about 120 kms from Diphu town, north of Dokmoka outpost in the Singhasan Hills.

While the KLNLF extremists attacked the security forces from a camp on high feature, the security forces successfully destroyed the camp.

However, taking benefit of the jungle and hills, majority of cadres managed to escape.

One hardcore cadre had been arrested. A large number of uniforms, wireless charging batteries, explosive fuse wire and camp materials were recovered.

In the past three months this was the third major success of the security forces operating in the district in busting the camps of the KLNLF.

In the past 12 months, 3 KLNLF cadres had also been killed in an encounter with district police and a number of cadres had been arrested.
