Independent faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-I) on August 9 warned the Assam Government of a "violent clash" if Independence Day is celebrated for three consecutive days, reports The Telegraph. "Our organisation will not tolerate the celebration of the so-called Independence Day for three days. It is an open appeal not to create a conflict-like situation while celebrating Independence Day in Assam for three days," an email statement purportedly signed by the outfit's ‘assistant publicity and information secretary’, Arunodoy Asom, said.The warning by the militant group comes amid the Government preparations to celebrate Independence Day from August 13 to 15 with the rest of the country. Various cultural programmes, processions and contests have been lined up as part of the celebrations. ULFA-I and an umbrella body of rebel groups in the Northeast issues customary boycott calls on Independence Day and Republic Day.

Meanwhile, the State Government’s decision to celebrate the Independence Day with a three-day programme has added to the worries of the police and security forces, more so following intelligence inputs that a few groups of militants managed to sneak into the State from their camps in Myanmar to create disturbance during the celebrations, reports The Assam Tribune on August 11. Moreover, though there is no input about any threat from jihadi elements during the celebrations, the SFs are keeping a close watch on that front also as the threat perception cannot be overlooked. Highly placed Police sources said that the ULFA-I militants are being helped by the members of the Khaplang faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K) and both the outfits are trying to go for joint operations, particularly in upper Assam Districts. Sources said that according to intelligence inputs, a few groups of ULFA-I militants, along with NSCN-K militants, managed to sneak into upper Assam Districts and they are desperate to strike.

Suspected Independent faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-I) militants triggered a powerful Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blast in a drain near the Budlabeta Tea Estate along the Doomdooma Bypass in Tinsukia District of Upper Assam on August 11, reports The Assam Tribune. However, no casualty has been reported. The incident comes at a time when Security Forces (SFs) have intensified operations against the militants as part of the stepped-up security measures ahead of Independence Day, which the outfit has boycotted like previous years. Police said around 7.30 am an explosion occurred in a drain near the Budlabeta tea estate near Doomdooma Bypass causing a huge sound and a small crater on the ground. Sources said SFs, who use the road to move into the interior areas believed to hotbed of ULFA-I during counter-insurgency (CI) operations, might have been the target.

Highly placed security sources said that the investigation into the five blasts that took place on the Independence Day, led to the disturbing fact of the Independent faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-I) using school students to plant the bombs, reports The Assam Tribune. Two boys – one in Class IX and the other in Class X – were arrested on August 17 following an intelligence input and during questioning, the students admitted that they were asked by the militants to plant the bombs.Giving details of the events, sources said that the school students, both of whom belong to Number 4 Kakojan village under Philobari police station in Tinsukia District, were taken to a nearby forest by one ULFA-I man, who belongs to the same village, on August 10. Sources said that four ULFA-I men met them in the forest. They sat down under a tree and the ULFA-I men persuaded them to plant the improvised explosive devices (IEDs) fitted with timers in different places.Sources said one ULFA-I man, Rupam Asom, was the brain behind using the school students to plant bombs and till now, the police and security forces are not aware whether the senior leaders of the outfit approved such a plan. As the school students picked up by the police are juveniles, they will not be tried in normal courts for the crime they had committed and they would be tried in special juvenile courts. Sources pointed out that in the past, the ULFA-I had used linkmen, couriers and even common criminals to plant bombs. But this was for the first time, the outfit used school students for such jobs.

Meanwhile, categorically refuting the allegations of Assam Police regarding employing two students of Kakojan in Tinsukia District of Upper Assam for planting bombs on and before Independence Day, the Independent faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-I) on August 18 termed it as a ‘drama’ initiated by Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) and Superintendent of Police (SP) Tinsukia and a ‘conspiracy’ by a lobby of Hindi-speaking people of the State to promote their cause and hide their weakness to counter the revolutionary act of the organization protesting the Independence Day celebrations, reports The Sentinel. The ULFA-I in a press communiqué strongly criticized the entire episode as a drama, claiming that it did not employ the school-going children in any of the acts of sabotage carried out so far.

The Independent faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFAI) for the first time in its history, released a video of abducted Kuldeep Moran, son of Tinsukia Zilla Parishad vice president and BJP leader Ratneshwar Moran, to demand a ransom of INR 1 crore on August 22, reports The Sentinel. Kuldeep was abducted from near the AssamArunachal Pradesh border on August 1. The ULFAI militants on August 22 released a video footage of the abducted youth and later demanded a ransom of INR 1 crore from Sadiya BJP Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) Bolin Chetia. Sources said releasing the video to media was aimed at creating pressure on the persons concerned and panic among the people. The video showed Kuldeep appealing to his family, BJP legislator from Sadiya constituency Bolin Chetia and Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal to secure his release by paying the outlawed outfit. The video shows a terrified Kuldip surrounded by five armed and black masked youths. He pleads for his life and talks about his failing health, expressing fears of getting killed in any crossfire between militants and Security Forces (SFs). Kuldip’s father, however, has expressed his inability to pay the ransom. “They (ULFAI) have demanded Rs 1 crore for the release of my son Kuldip. Forget about Rs 1 crore, I cannot even pay Rs 1 lakh. I can only request the kidnappers to release my son without any condition,” said Ratneswar Moran.
