Dimapur, January 16 2013:
Troops of 21 Assam Rifles arrested four NSCN-K cadres from Nagaland's Zunheboto district few days ago with arms and ammunition.
According to the Assam Rifles source, on January 13 based on specific intelligence troops from 21 Assam Rifles apprehended four uniformed cadres of NSCN (K) form a safehouse in Alahoto Colony at Zunheboto town.
These cadres were armed with two AK - 47 rifles with magazines and 33 rounds, two 7.62 mm pistols (one each of Japanese and Chinese made) with 09 rounds, a stamp of NSCN(K) and tax collection books, said the source.
This apprehension by 21 AR once again proves the gross violation of cease fire ground rules by the Naga underground factions who have no consideration for the prevailing peace and harmony in the region, the source added.
This also goes against the repeated requests by the local populace to keep the villages and towns free from the armed cadres, the Assam Rifles source said.
This timely action by the Assam Rifles has averted a major plot of inter faction clash prior to the elections in which many innocent lives could have been lost, the Assam Rifles claimed.
The cadres along with the weapons were handed over to the Police Station at Zunheboto.
