He also said that after the disbandment, the ULFA leaders and cadres will have different identities.
Chetia added that he will personally be involved in social work.
“Our cadre strength is close to 900 and we will continue staying in Assam. We will all have other identities. Personally I will be engaged in social work and will try to serve the people of the state,” Chetia said.
Chetia further informed that the ULFA leadership is also considering about the various employment opportunities for the cadres.
