Guwahati, July 25 (IBNS) : Two hardcore militants belonging to NDFB(S) were gunned down during a gun battle with security forces in Assam’s Kokrajhar district on Monday morning, officials said.

Based on intelligence input, the police and the army launched an operation at Jharbari area in the BTAD district on Monday morning.

 “We got information that some militants were moving towards Jharbari area and immediately launched operation at the area,” an army official said.

 As security troops reached the spot, a group of militant opened indiscriminate firing targeting the the team.

Security personnel retaliated with controlled fire and neutralised two militants.

 The slain militants were identified as PungkhaNarzary and JwngsrBasumatary.

 “Both the militants were of 42 batch and were involved in numerous subversive activities, including extortion, kidnapping and were planning to target security forces camps and convoys in the run up to Independence day,” the official said.

Security forces recovered two pistols, some ammunition, two grenades and other war-like stores in possession from the militants.

 In view of the high state of alertness being maintained due to inputs being received regarding movement by anti- national elements to carry out serial blasts in the run up to Independence Day, the Army and the Assam Police are maintaining a very high state of vigil.
