Koch-Rajbongshi Liberation Organisation (KRLO) - Terrorist Group of Assam

The Koch-Rajbongshi Liberation Organisation (KRLO) was formed by the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) as a subsidiary front for the Koch-Rajbongshi tribals in December 1995. The initiative was taken by Raju Baruah, the Operations Commander of ULFA. The then Chairman of ULFA's Darrang district unit, Ajit Kachari was entrutsted with the task of setting up KRLO.

Like the Kamatapur Liberation Organisation (KLO), its reported goal is to establish a separate State, comprising Koch-Rajbongshi-inhabited areas of northern Assam. The first batch of 25 KRLO activists went to ULFA camps in Bhutan for training in December 1995.

By 1996, when these activists returned to Assam, counter-insurgency operations had been intensified in the State and the KRLO was more or less defunct. Most of its activists joined the Saraighat Unit of the ULFA. Some KRLO activists also surrendered to the authorities.
