Guwahati: In a significant step toward consolidating peace in the Bodoland region, five senior leaders of the National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB), currently in judicial custody, were brought from Guwahati Central Jail to the Bodoland Guest House in Kajalgaon, Chirang, under heavy security today.
The transfer is part of the ongoing tripartite dialogue involving the Central Government, the Assam Government, and the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) administration to address unresolved legal matters linked to the NDFB.
The leaders—Vice President Rifikhang Goyari alias Rajen, Deputy Army Chief George Boro alias Jingkhang, Ajay Basumatary alias Augai, Khourangsar Basumatary alias Khargeswar, and Raju Sarkar—are key figures in the peace process that followed the signing of the Bodo Peace Accord. Sources confirmed that their temporary relocation aims to facilitate deliberations over the possible withdrawal of pending CBI and NIA cases through legal avenues, including resolutions currently under review by the Supreme Court.
Danshrung Narzary, Editor and representative of the Ex-NDFB Welfare Society, expressed optimism, stating that the initiative highlights the commitment to settle all outstanding issues through lawful and peaceful means. The development marks a crucial moment in the broader reconciliation efforts, signaling the government’s continued resolve to honour the peace accord and ensure long-term stability in the region.
