Myanmar-trained Ulfa-I cadre surrenders

Dibrugarh: A Myanmar-trained cadre of the Ulfa (Independent) surrendered before security forces in Tinsukia district on Friday, coinciding with the foundation day of the proscribed outfit.
Police said the cadre, identified as self-styled private Modon Asom alias Mintu Moran, who had joined the Ulfa (I) in 2021 and underwent extensive arms training in Myanmar was tracked and persuaded to join the mainstream, which he did after fleeing from a camp in Myanmar.
He reportedly fled from the dismal conditions of the Ulfa (I) camp in Myanmar and surrendered before the Khonsa battalion of Assam Rifles. The cadre is currently undergoing documentation and other formalities as part of his surrender process. He is said to have revealed that the life at the Ulfa (I) camp in Myanmar was pitiable. tnn
