Security forces start fanning in Jagun area in search of ULFA-I and NSCN-K a day after the dreaded rebels killed three Assam Rifles jawans at an ambush.
Army, police and para military forces have cordoned off a huge area conducting a combing operation against the rebels behind the ambush on Sunday morning.
According to reports, at least 40 ULFA-I and NSCN-K rebels have been camping in upper Assam to disrupt the Republic Day celebrations on Thursday. These rebels would target the security forces deployed in the vulnerable areas.
