NFLB chief M. Batha, other militants surrender in Assam, CM Himanta calls it great leap towards peaceful Assam
- | Thursday | 22nd July, 2021
The militant organization formed the NLFB in 2020 by making a base in the dense forests of the Bodoland Autonomous Region. The extremist organization is facing several charges of extortion and killings in Bodoland and surrounding areas.
All the members including the newly formed militant organization National Liberation Front of Bodoland (NLFB) chief M. Batha have surrendered today.
After the signing of the third Bodo Peace Accord in January 2020, some disgruntled cadres of the NDFB led by M Batha returned to the jungle and formed this organization. This organization has been most active in the Bodoland Territorial Area (BTR).
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma (Assam CM) informed in a statement saying that all NLFB members will return to the mainstream later in the day.
Peoples trust on the Govt policies is reflected by NLFBs decision to return to the mainstream today.I welcome their homecoming.We reiterate our commitment for all round the development of Bodoland and to protect the unique Socio - cultural and political identity of Bodo people.
