Bodo Militants

More than 100 former militants joined the ruling BJP in Assam's Karbi Anglong district on Tuesday. They were previously cadres of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) and were led by Nabin Chandra Bodo.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in Assam today, participatingin an event to celebrate the signing of the Bodo peace deal, an accord between the government and the banned militant group National Democratic Front of Bodoland, last month. This is PM Modi's first visit to the state since the government's big move on the Citizenship (Amendment) Act that...

A day after the Bodo Peace Accord was signed, senior Assam minister Himanta Biswa Sarma today extended an olive branch to the anti-talk ULFA (Independent) faction, appealing to its leader Paresh Barua to come to the negotiating table for the sake of "permanent peace in the Northeast".

The government today signed an accord with the National Democratic Front of Bodoland - the banned militant group in Assam - bringing to an end the decades-long statehood movement which saw much bloodshed.

Two Bodo militants reported to have been killed in an encounter with security forces in Assam's Chirang district had been picked up earlier and shot in cold blood, a top paramilitary officer has told the government in a report. The officer has asked for an independent probe into what he has called "pre-planned murders".

An NIA team today scoured the site and spoke to eyewitnesses of yesterday's terror attack here in which 14 people were killed while a massive combing operation was on to nab the militants of Bodo separatist outfit NDFB(S) suspected to be involved in the strike.

In a huge setback for Facebook's free internet scheme, telecom regulator TRAI has banned differential pricing for data in India.

A year ago, to expect a group of Bodo and Adivasi boys play a football match together in parts of lower Assam would be fairly far-fetched. But last week in Kokrajhar, that is exactly what they did.

Two National Democratic Front of Bodoland or NDFB-S cadre, wanted in connection with the massacre of tribals, were killed in an encounter today. The operation was carried out by a joint team of Assam Police and Army.

16 tribal students at a relief camp in Assam's Deosiri are to appear for their class 10 exams in February. They have only a few books to prepare for the crucial examinations - the rest were burnt when Bodo militants set fire to their homes in December.

Even a month after 80 people were killed after Bodo militants launched an attack on tribal villages in four districts of Assam, fear is a big factor that has kept about 10,000 displaced people from returning home. They continue to remain in relief camps despite facing hardships and shortages.

On December 19 - three days before Bodo terrorists struck in Assam last month, killing at least 80 people in three districts - a peace proposal came from the terrorists. The callers were none other than Bidai and Baitha - the commander and deputy commander of National Democratic Front of Bodoland (Songojit).

In a crackdown on NDFB(S) militants, nine insurgents, including the chief recruiting officer, believed to be the brain behind the December 23 killing of Adivasis in Assam, and Belsiri 'platoon commander', were arrested.

Twelve militants of NDFB-Songbijit, which was behind the December massacre of over 70 people in lower Assam, were apprehended during a joint operation by security forces in the Manas Reserve Forest in Chirang District along the India-Bhutan border.

An National Democratic Front of Bodoland NDFB(S) platoon commander, allegedly involved in the recent attack by the outfit on Adivasis, was killed in an encounter in Assam's Kokrajhar district today, police said.
