ULFA reorganises armed wing in Assam

Guwahati: The proscribed ULFA today reorganised its armed wing by dismantling its existing battalions and instead bringing all the cadres under the 'mobile military headquarters'(MMH).

An ULFA e-mail to media houses here by its publicity convenor Arunudoy Dohotia stated that all the ULFA battalions had been dismantled and the post of 'battalion commander' abolished as per resolutions adopted at a meeting of the outfit under its elusive 'commander-in-chief' Paresh Baruah.

A ten-day meeting of the armed wing of the ULFA was held from March 20 at the outfit's 'mobile military headquarters' (MMH).

All the armed wing cadres will now onwards be functioning directly under its MMH headed by Baruah to be administered through the 'command system', Dohotia said.

Besides adopting the new system replacing the old formations, the meeting had also resolved to publicise the militant group's 'revolutionary messages' among the people, the e-mail added.

Most of ULFA's battalions had been rendered leaderless and defunct after their commanders came overground and the outfit's top brass, including 'chairman' Arabinda Rajkhowa, were arrested and the first round of peace talks with the Centre was held after their release on bail.
