Panery (Indo-Bhutan border), Dec 23: The Royal
Bhutan Army continued with its 'Operation All Clear' for the
ninth day today concentrating in combing the dense jungles of
the eastern part of Bhutan for Indian militants, even as the
rebels continued to surrender before the Indian authorities.
The area, where the Ulfa, NDFB and KLO are sheltering
after the demolition of all the 30 camps, are being cordoned
off before the ultras are hounded.
Official sources told that rather than indulging in firing the RBA was today engaged in cordoning off specific areas to track out the rebels who were trying to hide in the difficult terrain of the hilly kingdom.
Sources in Bhutan said special care was being taken to evacuate the non-combatant women and children of the dislodged militant camps by providing shelter and food till they were identified for sending them to India.
Meanwhile, a group of five rebels gave themselves up before the army and the police near here and surrendered their arms.
They were NDFB 'sergeant major' Sarbin Chandra Boro, Ulfa 'corporal' Paban Hazarika, 'sergeant' Paban Das, 'lance corporals' Kalparam Das and Bidyaran Nath.
They surrendered three AK-47 rifles, a universal machine gun and a wireless set before the Darrang police super and 5th mountain division G-O-C Maj Gen M S Rathore. Bureau Report
