46 leaders, cadres of Adivasi militant outfit lay down weapons in Assam

As many as 46 members of surrendered tribal militant group All Adivasi National Liberation Army (AANLA) laid down their weapons in Assam’s Sonitpur district on Sunday.

AANLA, formed in 2006, claims to fight to protect the rights of the tribal culture of plantation workers in Assam.

The former militants handed over weapons to top district police officers, including the Additional Superintendent of Police (crime) and the Deputy Superintendent of Police (border), at a ceremony in Dhekiajuli.
