Shillong, November 16:
The Myanmar Government has launched an operation to flush out militants of the North Eastern region of India from that country, Assam Rifles Director General Lt Gen Paramjit Singh said today.
Several camps have already been busted during the past three days and most of these belonged to the ULFA, Lt Gen Singh told reporters here.
"I accompanied the Union Home Secretary to Myanmar recently.
The Myanmar Government told us that about the operation they would launch.
"However, the exact details of the operation are yet to be received," he said.
The Assam Rifles has been particularly going after the ULFA's main strike force, the 28th battalion, which is reported to have its headquarters in Myanmar.
About a fortnight ago, the army had claimed that the banned ULFA shifted some camps to Myanmar from Arunachal Pradesh following pressures from security forces.
