A
National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB)
cadre, B Daithan, was killed and five other
militants were wounded at Sapatgram in the Dhubri
district of lower Assam on April 25, when the
police retaliated to the militants who were
forcing the closure of shops and other business
establishments in the area, according to Telegraph.
The outfit reportedly called for a general strike
on April 25 in protest against the alleged ‘violation
of ceasefire rules’ by the State Government.
Elsewhere
in the State, suspected NDFB militants hurled
two petrol bombs at the engine of a diesel carrying
train at Rowta in the Udalguri district injuring
two persons. A major disaster was averted when
the wounded engine staff managed to delink the
engine from the train before the attack.
Separately,
the Public Works Department chief engineer,
Suren Das, who was abducted on March 9 and later
released on April 24 by the United Liberation
Front of Asom (ULFA),
has been in a stage of coma due to cerebral
malaria. Das reportedly started suffering from
cerebral malaria while in captivity. |
