Asom: Militant camp busted in Karbi hills

Guwahati, May 31: The Karbi Anglong Police in a joint operation with CRPF has busted a camp of the KLNLF here.

Karbi Anglong Superintendent of Police Anurag Tankha told sources that the operation was conducted yesterday at Paklangso Pahar located in Langlakso jungle, about 120 kms from Diphu.

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 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.
