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.
