Nearly 40 cadres of a tribal militant outfit, including its ‘commander-in-chief’, laid down their arms before the security forces in Assam’s Karbi Anglong district on June 2, a top police official said.
They gave up a large cache of arms and ammunition, including sophisticated guns and grenades, at the surrender ceremony at Bokakhat police station premises, he said.
“A total of 39 cadres of the Adivasi People’s Liberation Army (APLA) surrendered today. This has been possible due to the joint efforts of the Assam Police and Assam Rifles,” Inspector General of Police (IGP), central range, Devojyoti Mukherjee said.
