Formal talks between the Government of India and National Democratic Front of Bodoland-Saoraigwra (NDFB-S) will start soon and the Centre has made it clear that the territorial integrity of Assam would not be touched, reports Assam Tribune on January 24. The three factions of the NDFB led by Ranjan Daimary, Govinda Basumatary and Dhiren Boro are already talking with the Government of India and the NDFB(S) will join the peace process within the next few days. Sources said that the leaders of the NDFB(S) are keen that they should be treated as a separate entity and not clubbed with the other three factions of the NDFB, which are already talking with the Government. That is why, the Government has decided to start talking with the leaders of the outfit separately.
