GUWAHATI: Altogether 1,615 cadres of three NDFB factions on Thursday laid down arms here before Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal and state Finance Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
The move comes three days after the Centre and the Assam government signed a peace accord with Bodo organisations – NDFB and All Bodo Students’ Union – with Union Home Minister Amit Shah stating that the agreement will usher in a “golden future” for the state and its people.
