"We have definite information that both the two banned insurgent outfits - ATTF and NLFT -- have changed their names," Singh said.
The ATTF, the armed wing of the Tripura People's Democratic Front (TPDF), in a press statement recently stated that it had changed it's name to Revolutionary People's Army (RPA) in the three-day bienniel conference of council of representatives of TPDF which began on March 29, 2003.
To a question, the IG said the NLFT had changed its name recently.
He said the two outfits had changed their names to take some legal advantages because both were banned organisations.
He said the NLFT had recently recruited 200 youths and 50 girls. The ATTF had also recruited many girls recently.
