ULFA (I) Extended Cease Fire Another Three Months, CM appreciates

ULFA (Independent) extended the unilateral ceasefire, announced in May this year, for another three months as the COVID-19 pandemic situation in Assam is yet to improve. In a statement issued to the media here the banned outfit stated that it would not resort to any ‘military operation’ during the period of extended unilateral ceasefire which has been put in vogue on expiry of the ceasefire declared earlier in the greater interest of the society amid the pandemic. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said, "This is a very encouraging and positive announcement. The ULFA (I) has also not called for any bandh on Independence Day either, which was the norm earlier. These measures are commendable. I hope that the ceasefire becomes permanent and the outfit under the leadership of Paresh Barua returns to the mainstream."
