Guwahati, Dec 23 (UNI): As many as 67 cadres of the banned Dimasa National Liberation Army (DNLA) surrendered to the Assam government on Thursday.
The cadres laid down their arms in front of the state’s Additional Director General of Police Hiren Nath, and Karbi Anglong’s Chief Executive Member (CEM), Tuliram Ronghang, during a programme at Dhansiripar in Karbi Anglong district.
Welcoming them into the mainstream, state Chief Minister Himanata Biswa Sarma said the cadres have committed themselves to realise the dream of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah of a progressive and peaceful Assam.
“Committing themselves to the dream of Hon PM & Hon HM of progressive and peaceful Assam, I am glad to share that 67 cadres of DNLA laid down weapons today at Dhansiripar, Karbi Anglong,” an official statement said.
It may be recalled that DNLA had announced a ceasefire on September 24, after which 46 cadres of the outfit surrendered on November 14.
