RDX weighing five kilogrammes was recovered from Majuli, the River Island on August 2, reports Telegraph. The recovery in the wake of some United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) militants pitching tent in the area as reported in The Telegraph has triggered speculation among Security Forces over whether the outfit was using the island to stock arms and explosives to carry out strikes in the neighbouring Districts in the run-up to Independence Day. The sub-divisional Police Officer, Majuli, Amitabh Basumatary, said the consignment was buried in the courtyard of a villager at Morihuti under Jengraimukh Police Station, bordering Lakhimpur District. "The consignment was probably kept by Ulfa militant Rajib Bora who hails from Majuli. We suspect that more such consignments are being kept on the island," Basumatary said.

The Dimasa People’s Council (DPC), an umbrella organization of the Dimasa civil society organizations, has appealed to both the Government and the Dima Halim Daogah (DHD) to work towards the solution of the Dimasa problem, rather than aggravating it. Expressing concern over the “ultimatum given by the DHD” regarding their demand of Dimaraji, the DPC members alleged that the Government, instead of solving the problems, is rather complicating the peace process by its ‘delaying tactics’ which create a confusing situation, which may ultimately instigate the militant outfits on ceasefire to return to violent means. DHD ‘chairman’ Dilip Nunisa said it is unfortunate that the Centre has failed to reciprocate positively despite the militant outfit showing a great deal of enthusiasm and will for peace, added Telegraph.
