Almost 250 members of two ethnicity-based extremist organisations in Assam laid down their arms before Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma at a formal programme in Guwahati on Thursday.
The organisations are the Tiwa Liberation Army (TLA) and the United Gorkha People’s Organisation (UGPO).
Formed in 2014 to cater to the aspirations of the Tiwa community, the TLA was active in the Morigaon, Nagaon and West Karbi Anglong districts of central Assam.
