ULFA issues ultimatum

United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I) ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Baruah aka Paresh Asom issued ultimatum to the Central Public Sector Undertaking , North Eastern Electric Power Corporation (NEEPCO) to either rehabilitate the flood affected population of Lakhimpur District or face dire consequences, reports Times of India on July 21. Baruah last week had asked the PSU to rehabilitate the affected people after which NEEPCO said that the unprecedented flood in Lakhimpur district is not due to release of water from Ranganadi but due to incessant rain in Arunachal Pradesh. In the current wave of flood, 11 persons have lost their lives in Lakhimpur District.

Meanwhile, State Government has told the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) that it will not recommend withdrawal of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) of 1958 from a few areas, at least till August 31, because of the possibility of subversive activities by the ULFA-I, reports Times of India on July 21.
