Assam’s militant outfit Dimasa National Liberation Army (DNLA), on April 1, declared a unilateral ceasefire by another six months, reports India Today NE. In a letter addressed to the Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, Juhthai, the ‘chairman’ of DNLA, had desired to extend the period of the Ceasefire Agreement Sign of DNLA to another six months, from April 1, 2023, to September 30, 2023. The letter states, " It hereby informs you that the Dimasa National Liberation Army (DNLA) has resolved to extend the period of another six months of Ceasefire Agreement Sign from April 2023 to 30th September 2023 for better peaceful environment, developmental talk and co-relation among us. This is for information and necessary action."Earlier, in September 2021, the DNLA declared a "Unilateral Ceasefire" for six months as a gesture of goodwill while responding to the call for peace by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. The announcement came exactly two weeks after DNLA killed five persons and injured one when they fired at a convoy of seven trucks and set them on fire on August 26, 2021 in the Dima Hasao District in Assam.
