ULFA-I leader’s surrender will bring peace in Garo Hills, says Meghalaya CM

Shillong, Nov 12 (UNI) Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Thursday said that
the surrender of Drishti Rajkhowa alias alias Manoj Rabha, a close confidant of United
Liberation Front of Asom -Independent (ULFA- I) ‘commander-in-chief’, Paresh Baruah will
ensure long lasting peace in the Garo Hills region of the State.
Rajkhowa, along with his four bodyguards -- Yashin Ali, Rup Jyoti Rabha, Babul Rabha,
Rahul Hazarika -- surrendered to security forces and central agencies at Dilsengre village,
South Garo Hills district on Wednesday, in the wake of a strategy worked out by the
Meghalaya Police in co-ordination with Assam Police and the Army.
They were then handed over to Assam Police by the Meghalaya Police to complete other
legal formalities.
"Rajkhowa was under tremendous pressure from Meghalaya Police as they had launched an operation to prevent militancy activities and ensure that they are not allowed to raise their ugly
heads in Garo Hills," Sangma said.
“He (Dristi) was under tremendous pressure by the State police and that forced him to
surrender. The coordination of the State Police and the Army ultimately led him to surrender,”
the Chief Minister said.
Sangma said the government will continue to work to ensure that peace prevails in the State.
“Ensuring socio-economic development will change overall situation in the long run and we
will achieve permanent solution,” he expressed confidence.
Meanwhile, Meghalaya Director General of Police Ra Chandranathan said that the State police
has decided to seek custody of Rajkhowa in conncetion with several casesin Meghalaya.
In another separate incident, Meghalaya police on Thursday recovered three boxes containing
anti Armour ammunitions numbering 254 buried near Upper Damalgre area, between West Garo
Hills district and South West Garo Hills district border.
