GUWAHATI: Law-enforcing agencies in Assam, battling Ulfa insurgency for decades, may have another big security problem at hand with Maoist rebels on the run from central and south India setting up base on the outskirts of Guwahati city.
Days after Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said Ulfa (I) had recruited 47 boys and girls into its ranks and blamed social media for its propaganda, a worried city police commissioner Harmeet Singh said on Saturday said they have evidence to show that Maoists are trying to establish a base in the city fringes.
