    Digital Desk: In a major achievement against militancy, Assam Police's relentless efforts have led to a significant breakthrough in the battle against the United Liberation Front of Assam-Independent (ULFA-I). The arrests are linked to three grenade blasts that shook Assam's Tinsukia, Sivasagar, and Jorhat districts on November 22, December 9, and December 13, respectively, all claimed by ULFA-I.

    Praising the operation, Assam's Director General of Police (DGP), Gyanendra Pratap Singh, highlighted meticulous work spanning weeks, resulting in the arrest of eight suspected linkmen in Sivasagar district and two each in Tinsukia and Jorhat districts. Recovered motorcycles used in the attacks further solidified the case.

    The grenade incidents targeted strategic locations, including military and police camps. The police thwarted another potential attack, seizing a grenade and uncovering documents linking the arrested individuals to banned groups. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has initiated a probe, emphasizing the gravity of the situation.

The ongoing probe signifies a united front against militancy, reflecting the unwavering commitment of law enforcement to ensuring the safety and security of the region's residents.
