ULFA reorganized in Bhutan

Gauhati, August 14: The outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) has re-established its presence in Bhutan with three camps recently.

Hira Sarania, who was believed to be close to commander-in-chief Paresh Barua, was heading the cadres operating from these camps.

The camps are located in the eastern district of Bhutan Samdrup Jhongkar. ULFA also had numerous bases before it was flushed out of the kingdom in December 2003. RBA had destroyed 13 camps during the operation.

The insurgents are also organizing training camps inside Bhutan, PTI reports said.

Sarania was recently in the news for sending an extortion note demanding Rs 15 lakh from the RBI's regional director in Guwahati.
The top military brass of Bhutan and India held two rounds of talks this month regarding ULFA's reappearance in Bhutan. India has not planned any kind of security operation in view of the ongoing peace process with the group. This will support their project to resettle in Bhutan. Bhutan News Service
