The proscribed ULFA today reorganised its armed wing by dismantling its existing battalions and instead bringing all the cadres under the `mobile military headquarters’(MMH).
An ULFA e-mail to PTI and other media houses here by its publicity convenor Arunudoy Dohotia stated that all the ULFA battalions had been dismantled and the post of `battalion commander’ abolished as per resolutions adopted at a meeting of the outfit under its elusive `commander-in-chief’ Paresh Baruah.
A ten-day meeting of the armed wing of the ULFA was held from March 20 at the outfit’s `mobile military headquarters’(MMH).
All the armed wing cadres will now onwards be functioning directly under its MMH headed by Mr. Baruah to be administered through the `command system’, Mr. Dohotia said.
Besides adopting the new system replacing the old formations, the meeting had also resolved to publicise the militant group’s `revolutionary messages’ among the people, the e-mail added.
Most of ULFA’s battalions had been rendered leaderless and defunct after their commanders came overground and the outfit’s top brass, including `chairman’ Arabinda Rajkhowa, were arrested and the first round of peace talks with the Centre was held after their release on bail.
