Two ULFA-Independent cadres were arrested by the troops of Assam Rifles from Tirap district of Arunachal Pradesh on Friday evening.
The duo was apprehended by Assam Rifles after they had sneaked in from their base in Myanmar. The duo have been identified as Nayan Jyoti Nath hailing from Tezpur and Manesho Ali of Chabua in eastern Assam’s Dibrugarh district.
During preliminary interrogations carried out by the security forces, the cadres have admitted that they had to flee towards India after their camps were run over by the Myanmarese army sometime ago.
They also stated that there is acute shortage of food supplies in the camps and most of the cadres have lost contacts with their hierarchy.
