Kohima, October 12 (PIB) : The Troops of Army’s Red Horns Division busted yet another ‘terrorist camp’ inside Kaki RF area of East Karbi Anglong, about 10 km from Diphu confirming once again, the nexus that exists between NSCN (IM) and KLNF, stated a press note from Lt Col Nirupam Bhargava, PRO Defence Nagaland and Assam .
At about 1700 hours on 11 Oct, a routine patrol of the Army hit upon a training camp. The millitants were having their evening meal when, sensing the advance of the Army patrol towards their camp they managed to melt away into thick jungles leaving behind their plates laden with food, midway.
The camp consisted of three to four shelters. Out of these one was well furnished and probably belonged to a senior cadre of NSCN (IM), a new combat dress with insignias and collar dogs of NSCN (IM) were found. From what was left behind clearly indicates it was a KLNF camp where training was being conducted under a senior cadre of NSCN (IM). Some of the items recovered from the camp include 79 rounds of AK 47 ammunition, a motor cycle helmet, two cycles, an Acer Laptop carry case without the laptop, five Rucksacks, ten skipping ropes, eight dusters, five pairs of comb dresses, Political maps of Assam and North East, atleast 10 pairs of shoes including jungle shoes, 25 Liquid Dettol bottles, Two Bibles, Oxford Dictionary, a Satchel, telephone directory, candle packets, torches, blankets, bed sheets etc. Besides these, two cash receipt books of ‘Government of the People’s Republic of Nagalim’ were also found.
The busting of the camp is a major achievement in the Counter terrorist operations of the SF against KLNF, in particular. In the last two months, this is the such camp which has been busted by the Army. Around a month back two KLNF cadres were killed in an encounter and two of their camps were busted. A transit facility deep inside Disama RF was busted only a fortnight ago. The KLNF cadres are on the run as one by one, all their strongholds are being raided by Army and cadres being apprehended.
