Digital Desk: In response to the United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I) threats, Assam Director General of Police (DGP) GP Singh stated that earlier he had received similar threats from numerous terror organizations in his career.

Speaking with the reporters in Silchar, Singh stated, "I have received such threats from various terror organizations over the past 15-20 years of my career, and it is not limited to Assam. I don't think the risks are significant because the government pays us for the work they've entrusted us with."

"Our chief minister is working for the development of Assam, and if any organization is attempting to obstruct development through extortion and demands, whether genuine or fake, I will not allow anything of the sort to occur in the state. I am very clear on this," he said, adding that "we will do whatever it takes to combat the extortion and demands that are impeding Assam's development. We will take harsh measures against the offenders."

"Moreover, if they come to Assam from a foreign country where they are currently camping to take part in the developmental works envisioned by our chief minister, I will gladly leave the state the very next day if they ask," he added.

The reaction came just a day after the outlawed terror group publicly threatened GP Singh, demanding that he either stop organizing fake encounters against people or leave the state.

ULFA-I threatened the DGP just hours after the Indian Army and Assam Police apprehended a woman in Dibrugarh for alleged suspicious links with the banned faction.
