Khonsa, Feb 12: Based on specific intelligence inputs regarding the presence of a hardcore anti national element in the general area of Moktowa, Khonsa Bn of Assam Rifles launched a focused operation on February 10.
The sustained persuasion and coordinated efforts of the security forces motivated the ultra to shun the path of violence and return to the mainstream. Consequently, the individual surrendered at Battalion Headquarters, Khonsa.
The surrendered ultra has been identified as Wangkhu Lowang, a self-styled Lieutenant of NSCN-K (Khango Konyak), 32, a resident of Village Moktowa, Dadam, District Tirap, Arunachal Pradesh.
During the surrender, the ultra deposited one 7.65 mm pistol with magazine along with six live rounds of 7.65 mm ammunition.
The successful surrender underscores the effectiveness of intelligence-based operations and the humane, persuasive approach adopted by the security forces. Assam Rifles, in coordination with other security agencies, remains committed to maintaining peace, security, and stability in the region and continues to encourage misguided youth to return to the mainstream.
