The security forces opined that the cadre's surrender would encourage other underground militants to return to the mainstream.
The surrendered militant said before the security forces that the third abducted ONGC employee, Ritul Saikia, is still in the custody of the ULFA (I).
While describing the life of a militant in jungles as very difficult, he appealed to all those who are still in jungle, to shun violence and come back to the mainstream.
