Centre Ulfa

A tripartite peace deal between the Centre, the Assam government, and the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) has been signed in Delhi, bringing the curtains down on one of the biggest insurgent groups in the northeast region.

The Centre is today set to sign a peace deal with the pro-talk faction of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), marking a significant breakthrough in the decades-old problem of insurgency in the northeast.

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.

The Centre has held a discussion with the pro-talks faction of the United Liberation Front of Asom in an attempt to find a solution to the decades-old insurgency problem in the state.

After the Bodo peace deal, the centre will now try and fast track the ULFA peace deal. The Assam government is soon going to discuss the status of the ULFA peace talks, which are believed to be in a very advanced stage, Assam cabinet minister Himanta Biswa Sarma indicated.

Following the signing of the Bodo Peace Accord, Assam Cabinet Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma asked the United Liberation Front of Assam (Independent) faction leader Paresh Barua to return to India and join the ongoing peace talks.

A day after the Bodo Peace Accord was signed, senior Assam minister Himanta Biswa Sarma today extended an olive branch to the anti-talk ULFA (Independent) faction, appealing to its leader Paresh Barua to come to the negotiating table for the sake of "permanent peace in the Northeast".

Former Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi claimed Wednesday he was under pressure from the previous NDA government at the Centre to continue with "secret killings", a practice that he claimed was "rampant" during his predecessor Prafulla Kumar Mahanta's tenure.

Growing public sentiment against the Centre's move to amend the Citizenship Act has given a "fresh lease of life" to the outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), which has recruited eights youths in the last two months, a senior officer of the Assam Police has said.

The central government is committed to grant ST status to six communities in Assam and it is working in this direction, Union minister Kiren Rijiju said today.

Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act or AFSPA has been extended in entire Assam and the 20km-wide belt in Meghalaya bordering the state by six months with the Centre declaring that the "disturbed area" status, which has been in force since 1990, will continue.

Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today appealed to the central government to involve ULFA leader Anup Chetia, recently extradited from Bangladesh, in the ongoing peace talks with the insurgent group.

Two Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) were recovered on Friday, from an oil collection centre in upper Assam's Tinsukia district.

The United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) will finally begin talks with the Centre at New Delhi today in a bid to usher in peace in the insurgency-hit Assam. The talks, the third such engagement between the banned insurgent group and the Centre in nearly two decades, will be held minus any conditions.An eight-member ULFA delegation led by its chai...

It's a very significant day in the timeline of Northeast India's insurgency movement, particularly Assam, when United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) - still number one in the list of banned organisations of the government of India - declared that they are ready for formal unconditional talks with the government which is expected to begin on the 1...
