Centre puts Assam government on alert as I-Day is nearing

The Centre has put the Assam Government on alert apprehending ULFA's massive strike during the Independence day celebrations on August 15. According to information, acting on some specific inputs that ULFA is drawing up a blue print for a massive strike during the Independence Day programme, the Centre has alerted the Dispur to be extra vigilant. According to information, the Union home ministry has told Dispur to intensify security measures especially around vital installations as ULFA militants have been targeting these places in support of their demands.

The Centre further has asked Dispur to deploy adequate security personnel in all towns and Guwahati city as there have been recent strikes by the rebels in urban areas. This was discussed in detail at a meeting of Unified Command Structure held in Guwahati on recently in presence of senior officials of Army, state police, CRPF and BSF. The meeting decided to put the security agencies engaged in counter- insurgency operations on alert.
