Barely 24 hours after the fierce gun battle of Army with DHD(J) militant camp at
Heralu in North Cachar hills district, altogether seven people have been killed
on Sunday while they were working with the railway broad gauge construction
project at Phaiding in the same hills district. Details are awaited.
Notably, 12 DHD(J) cadres were killed during a joint operation at their camp on
Saturday. Hours after the incident, the DHD(J) cadres who announced unilateral
ceasefire with the government, threatened to stymie the central and state
government projects in both the hills districts. The militant outfit has
alleged that their cadres were killed despite the unilateral ceasefire was in
force and threatened to suspend it for a week.
