A media report on June 1 has indicated that the Dima Halim Daogah (DHD), a terrorist outfit of the Dimasa tribe in Assam is yet to decide over extension of six-month cease-fire with the Union Government that came into effect on December 31, 2002. The outfit has also alleged the security forces of "provocative actions" against its cadres and another tribal community of Hmars of targeting the Dimasas. The DHD ‘vice-president’ Dilip Nunisa while talking to a Kolkata-based daily from Haflong, the North Cachar district head quarters said, "We have kept in mind the appeals by Dimasa organisations and the plight of thousands of villagers who have been uprooted from their houses by Hmar militants.

At its meeting on June 24 at Narengi in Guwahati, the Unified Command of security forces (SFs) discussed ways to curb the activities of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), especially in the areas of Assam where they have been more active. The State’s Chief Secretary P K Dutta, Home Commissioner and Secretary B K Gohain, General Officer Commanding (GOC) IV corps Lt Gen Mohinder Singh, Assam police chief H K Deka and Inspector General (IG) of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) R D Singh were among those present at the meeting. The meeting decided, inter alia, to intensify counter-operations against the outfits, particularly in the border areas of Bhutan, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh. Further, the meeting deliberated that since ULFA is facing a resource crunch and food shortage at its camps in Bhutan and Meghalaya, the outfit has started attacking ‘soft targets’, including oil storage and refinery facilities to just prove that it exists and also to instill fear psychosis among the common people. The Unified Command has also decided to deploy more CRPF personnel in the district of North Cachar Hills that has been witnessing inter-tribal feud between the tribals of Dimsas and the Hmars, reportedly with the active involvement of the Dima Halim Daogah (DHD) and Hmar People’s Convention-Democracy (HPC-D) terrorists. Besides, the meeting also decided to recommend the upgradation of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) for the safety of vital Oil India Limited installations in Assam. The Unified Command was established in 1997 to bring the Army, State police and paramilitary forces under a single chain of command of the GOC of the Tezpur-based IV corps.

Media reports on June 25 have indicated that security forces have launched an operation against the ULFA terrorists hiding in the forest areas in Lakhipathar in Tinsukia district. According to an Army spokesperson, the operation began on June 24 to flush out the terrorists. An unnamed Army commander reportedly said, "This is perhaps the biggest ever single counter-insurgency operation in Assam in the past decade. More than 1,000 army, police, and paramilitary commandos have started combing the forest, supported by helicopters carrying out aerial surveillance of the area to prevent the ULFA militants from escaping." He further said, "If required, air raids will be launched on the ULFA bases inside Lakhipathar. We are confident the ULFA militants cannot escape the forest with our troops blocking all entry and exit routes." Lakhipathar was previously the ULFA headquarters, but the terrorists were forced to abandon the forests after the Indian Army launched Operation Bajrang in 1990 against them.

19 United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and 11 National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) terrorists surrendered before the General Officer Commanding (GOC) IV corps Lt. Gen. Mohinder Singh at the headquarters of the Red Horns Division of the Army at Tamulpur in Nalbari, on June 27. The surrendered ULFA terrorists included ‘lance corporal’ Madhab Choudhury alias MC, ‘officer-in-charge’ of Enigma camp Arun Talukdar alias Tango and in-charge of the outfit’s Deothang camp ‘Sgt. Major’ Tapan Tamuli alias Anup Bharali, and also three women cadres— Rina Das, Renu Medhi and Sabita Choudhury, wife of Madhab Choudhury. The women cadres reportedly said that they wanted to lead a family life. Among the NDFB terrorists who surrendered included, ‘Corporal’ Banduram Boro said to be trained at Naglang camp and ‘lance corporals’ Purnak Narzary and Paresh Basumatary. Speaking on the occasion Lt Gen Mohinder Singh said that the terrorists were procuring arms, including those made in China and ammunition from the international open markets in the border areas of Myanmar, Thailand, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan. He also said that during the past one year the security forces have achieved considerable success in curbing terrorist activities in Assam applying a three-point strategy–counter-terrorism operations, choking supply routes of the terrorists and pursuing the terrorists to surrender. He further informed that during the said period while unspecified number of terrorists were arrested, approximately 230 were killed in various encounters and some 200 more also surrendered. He also confirmed that the security forces were conducting a search operation in Lakhipathar, Tinsukia district where approximately 30 ULFA terrorists are suspected to be hiding. However, whether the terrorists were forced to descend from the Bhutan camps due to heavy rains or pressure from the Bhutan Government that had set a deadline of June 30 for vacating its territory cannot be confirmed, he added.

While speaking at a public rally at Judges’ Field in Guwahati on June 30, ‘chairman’ of the Bodo Liberation Tigers (BLT), Hagrama Basumatary, urged the Government for a speedy implementation of the Accord signed on February 10, 2003. The Accord envisages inter alia cration of an autonomous Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC). He also criticised the Sanmilita Janagosthiya Sangram Samiti (SJSS) for opposing the formation of the Council and the Karbi groups opposing the inclusion of Bodos in the Scheduled Tribe (ST) list. Further, he also appealed to the rival outfit, the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) to join the peace process. He reportedly said, "It is time for the NDFB to give up its aimless struggle and come out of hiding in foreign lands and initiate talks with the government. If the NDFB leaders do not have any sense of timing and fail to work out a plan for initiating dialogue with the government, our people will have to bear tremendous loss in the name of struggle."
