Not only this, surprise checking of camps is also being conducted to verify the cadres and weapons present.

Besides, it was also decided that the joint monitoring group meets will be held regularly to warn the SOO groups against violation of ground rules.

Moreover, the government is also appealing to the tribal CSOs to urge the cadres under SOO to return to their camps.

It may be mentioned that Chief Minister N Biren Singh has also informed that the Joint Monitoring Committee consisting of the state and central forces had been taking steps to ensure return of SOO cadres to their designated camps.
