Assam Rifles reciprocates; returns NSCN (I-M) card holders' arms

Reciprocating NSCN (I-M)’s return of arms and ammunition seized from Assam Rifles (AR) on Tuesday, AR released arms and ammunition seized from NSCN (I-M) card holders Wednesday here at NSCN (I-M)’s cease-fire monitoring cell (CFMC) office.

The released items included two AK 56s, one M.20 pistol, one 9 MM pistol, one telescope, two binoculars, 44 rounds of 7.62 and four rounds of 9 MM, one bulletproof jacket, 20 live rounds of 7.65 SLR, four mobile phones, cash money of Rs 1799, 18 sets of uniforms, two tumbler, four pairs of jungle boots and four uniform jackets.

Asked whether the incident was likely to remain a reminder of animosity for both sides, George said that CFGR were “misunderstood” and that both the sides were not doing anything “deliberately” and insisted that this kind of incidents occur due to “misunderstandings” and “misinterpretations”. He however assured that efforts have been taken up by both the sides so that such incidents could be avoided.
