A huge quantity of weapons and warlike stores were recovered from the militants which include a total of 07 Pistols.

The apprehension of 7 cadres and busting of recruitment racket has given a severe blow to the anti-social motives of KLO which has been trying hard to gain importance after the surrender of NDFB. The operation of this magnitude & coordinated efforts of police & armed forces will help in lowering the morale of these organization and put them on the back foot and ensure peace in Kokrajhar.
