Two out of the six militant neutralised were top leaders of KPLT.
Acting on a tip-off, as many as six Karbi People Liberation Tigers (KPLT) militants were neutralised by the Army on Friday in East Karbi Anglong’s Nambar Reserve Forest in Assam.
In a joint operation launched by the Army and Assam Police, in the dense Nambar Reserve Forest on Thursday night, stretching upto Friday morning resulted in the neutralisation of six militants and busting of the KPLT camp.
Amidst the operation, the militants opened fire at the Army troops. The cross-firing between Army troops and the militants resulted in the injury of one Army jawan.
Of the total six militants, who were neutralised, two were top leaders of the KPLT – Operation Commander and Area Commander, respectively.
A huge cache of arms and ammunition were also recovered from their possession and the camp. The recoveries included one INSAS Rifle, one 7.62mm Self Loading Rifle, one country made rifle, Hand Grenades, large quantity of ammunition of all types, fired cases, solar chargers, blankets and other war like and survival stores.
“The operation has been one of the most successful one in the recent times in the North East and has lead to near decimation of KPLT which has been the most prominent anti-national group active in both - West and East Karbi Anglong, Assam. This has been the result of well coordinated and relentless operations being conducted by the Army in conjunction with Assam Police. This has resulted in creation of constant pressure on the terrorist groups thereby preventing them from carrying out any activities like extortion, kidnapping for ransom, inference in civil development activities and killing of innocent civilians in the populated areas,” said a senior official of the Army troop engaged in the operation.
