In view of the prevailing COVID-19 situation, Paresh Barua-led ULFA (Independent) has refrained from calling a bandh on Republic Day for the first time in over two decades.
Welcoming the insurgent outfit's gesture, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma hoped that such confidence-building measures may lead to a formal discussion between ULFA (I) and the Centre in the future.
In a statement emailed to the media, Mr Barua said that ULFA (I) will not call for bandh or boycott of Republic Day celebrations keeping in view the COVID-19 situation.
