Guwahati, Jan 04: The Royal Bhutan Army has begun burning down the dislodged camps of the extremist outfits Ulfa, NDFB and KLO alongside its mopping up operations that followed its action to flush out northeast ultras from its soil. According to an official source at Thimphu, the RBA had burnt down several camps and cleared the adjoining areas of the Manas national park. Crown Prince Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck has undertaken a tour of the areas covered under the operation, the source said.
The Ulfa camp at Goborkonda, as stated by Army Chief of Staff Gen N C Vij at a press conference here recently, has been destroyed and was burnt down, the sources said.
While the RBA claims to have destroyed all the 30 camps on its soil, the army authorities here said the Lechung camps were yet to be busted.
Meanwhile, the NDFB has ruled out any possibility of holding talks with the Centre and accused the government of waging a proxy war against the outfit in Bhutan. Bureau Report
