ULFA Commander in Chief Paresh Baruah is understood to have been arrested in Bangladesh. But the Union home ministry has yet to confirm it. According to information, Paresh Barua apprehended by the Bangladeshi security agencies about two weeks back days as he was trying to cross over to Bangladesh via Myanmar border after visiting Chinese Yunnan province.
Barua was in Yunnan about four months ago after the Bangladeshi authorities launched a massive crackdown on anti-India insurgent groups.

The world observes October 16 as World Food Day. Once again another day of rhetorics to rue about the dismal food scenario (especially among the developing nations); to reiterate our noble intentions of formulating new plans to feed the starving masses by reeling out scary statistics that world wide 9 billion people are dying every year due to hunger and hunger related causes, of which more than 50% are children.Hunger accounts for more deaths than war, tuberculosis and AIDS put together.
