Op Choudhary

A citizens' collective of Nagaland Civil Society Organisations today vehemently objected to the Centre's move to extend the Armed Forces Special Power Act in the state, saying that the extension of the Act is a total violation of human rights.

Two days after a 30-year-old man allegedly died in custody after being caught by the Army in a counter-insurgency operation in Assam's Jorhat district, the state government said that security forces involved in such operations will have to be accompanied by the village headman or the line head of the tea estates.

At least five people were killed by suspected United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) terrorists in Upper Assam's Tinsukia district on Thursday evening. Reports suggestthe terrorists belonged to the ULFA's Paresh Baruah faction, the ULFA-Independent. But the outfit has denied any role in the attack.

Former Raipur collector O P Choudhary today joined the BJP, days after resigning from the Indian Administrative Service, ending speculation.
