ULFA, NDFB plan to disrupt polls

Guwahati, April 22. (PTI): The banned ULFA and the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) will make all efforts to disrupt the forthcoming May 10 Assembly polls by indulging in violence, a senior Army official said today.

"There are reports that both the ULFA and NDFB have joined hands to launch joint operations in certain pockets of the State during the elections", Major-General A S Jamwal of the 21 Mountain Division told reporters.

He said Bongaigaon and some areas of Kokrajhar and Barpeta districts were very sensitive and all possible efforts would be made to beef up security arrangements in view of the militant threat in the areas.

Jamwal said insurgency in Assam had been contained to a large extent and all efforts were being made to restore total peace.
