New Delhi, Oct 22 (NationPress) In a series of meticulously orchestrated counter-insurgency operations throughout the North East, the Assam Rifles have effectively dismantled multiple attempts by insurgent factions – ULFA (I) and NSCN – K(YA) – to launch attacks on security forces in recent weeks.
On October 16, NSCN–K (YA) initiated a surprise assault on the Hedman Camp in Changlang District, South Arunachal Pradesh, which was swiftly countered by a rapid response team.
The very next day, October 17, ULFA (I) attempted a similar offensive against the Kakopathar Camp in Assam.
According to defense sources, “Alert troops retaliated effectively, causing casualties among the insurgents and capturing one Over Ground Worker (OGW) involved in the attack.”
In retaliation, the Assam Rifles escalated their operations, deploying a comprehensive counter-insurgency network backed by advanced surveillance technologies, drones, and intelligence-driven teams.
This enhanced operational grid led to a successful ambush on October 21 near Namsai, South Arunachal Pradesh, resulting in the neutralization of one ULFA (I) operative and the seizure of significant warlike materials.
These rapid and precise maneuvers have not only thwarted the malicious intentions of the insurgents but also restored the morale and dominance of the security forces in the region.
As per defense sources, “The insurgent factions are now reported to be fleeing, their networks dismantled and leadership facing immense pressure.”
Through strategic planning, proactive deployment, and effective intelligence integration, the security forces have showcased remarkable operational readiness and determination.
The unyielding commitment of the Assam Rifles, their professional strategizing, and decisive actions continue to foster peace and stability in India’s North East, reasserting their legacy as the Sentinels of the North East.
