The Centre has almost finalised a peace deal with the pro-talk faction of the United Liberation Front of Asom, or ULFA, and the pact is likely to be signed on December 29, government sources told NDTV. This is being seen as a major success for the Narendra Modi-led central government in resolving the decades-old problem of insurgency in the northeast.
A financial package, a review of the citizenship list over the issue of illegal immigrants, new measures of land reservation, and rights for the indigenous communities of Assam might figure in the final deal, the sources added.
In addition, new provisions of political, economic, and cultural safeguards for the indigenous communities will find a place in the deal, they said.
