A hardcore cadre of the proscribed Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) today surrendered with arms before the BSF at a function held in the city.
Jingkyrmen Wanniang alias Tom (30) who joined the HNLC way back in December 2002 agreed to surrender and join the mainstream of the society after being motivated and persuaded by BSF intelligence team, BSF's DGP P C Sharma said.
He said, "BSF is taking all out effort to motivate those people who have joined insurgency groups to come back to the mainstream".
Speaking to reporters here, Tom said, "I decided to surrender and go back to my village and live with my family. I faced a lot of difficulties in my stay for nine years in the jungles of Bangladesh".
He is being further handed over to police for further action.
"We believe that government will do the necessary thing to rehabilitate him," a senior BSF official said.
Meanwhile, Meghalaya Ftr, BSF Shillong has intensified operations on the border.
