District administration told Assam Times that there is no report of any fresh incident of NDFB-S attacks during the last 24 hours. More and more army and para military forces are arriving in the district to intensify the counter offensive apart from guarding the panic stricken people who either have been rendered homeless or fled their homes to escape the attack.
