[1]The proscribed Ulfa on Thursday claimed to have reorganised its armed wing by dismantling existing battalions and bringing all cadres under 'mobile military headquarters'.
In an e-mail, 'publicity convenor' Arunudoy Dohotia said all Ulfa battalions have been dismantled and the post of 'battalion commander' abolished as per resolutions adopted at a meeting of the group under its elusive 'commander-in-chief' Paresh Baruah.
A 10-day meeting of the Ulfa's armed wing was held from March 20 at the group's 'mobile military headquarters'.
All armed wing cadres will now function directly under the 'mobile military headquarters' headed by Baruah to be administered through the 'command system', Dohotia said.
Most of Ulfa's battalions had been rendered leaderless and defunct after their commanders came overground and the group's top brass, including 'chairman' Arabinda Rajkhowa, were arrested. These leaders held the first round of peace talks with the Centre after their release on bail.
