The security agencies are worried over the intelligence reports suggesting recruitment of new cadres by outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom in Assam.
Disclosing that even Ulfa leaders holding ceasefire are found to have been enrolling new cadres, authoritative security sources told this newspaper, “The most worrying input is from Upper Assam district where senior Ulfa cadres, at the directive of its commander-in chief Paresh Baruah, was trying hard to recruit new cadres to strengthen the outfit.”
Informing that they have specific inputs on some of the new recruits being sent to Bangladesh also, security sources, however, admitted that number of new recruits may not be so big but the trend was indeed alarming.
