In a significant development, the self-styled foreign secretary of the Kamatapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) Pavel Koch, and 7 other cadres of the militant group have surrendered near the Indo-Myanmar border today.
The operation was carried out by the Assam Rifles and Special Branch Guwahati.
Sources informed that Pavel Koch and self-styled Sgt Major Kalyan Koch were taking shelter in the Naga inhabited area in Myanmar.
The cadres surrendered at Longwa while the remaining 6 surrendered from an unknown location.
According to the source, it is informed that the surrendered KLOs will be halting at Mon today and sent to Guwahati tomorrow.
This development comes in less than 2 months of the KLO chief Jeevan Singha, alias Jeevan Koch Timir Das and 9 others reportedly surrendered on January 17 this year.
The KLO was formed in 1995 with the primary purpose of creating a separate Kamatapur state made up of four Assam districts (Kokrajhar, Bongaigaon, Dhubri, and Goalpara) and six West Bengali districts (Cooch Behar, Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri, North, and South Dinajpur, and Malda).
