“As far as Assam is concerned, we have started identifying such OGWs or sympathisers of ULFA-I,” the source said, adding that members of several NGOs and civil society organisations in Assam “are also under the radar of the security agencies”.The source said, “We have inputs that people from different walks of life are helping the ULFA-I. The recovery of several bombs during the Independence Day celebrations in Assam has substantiated our belief in truth.”It also learnt from the sources that participants during the recently concluded two-day anti-terror conference here also deliberated over the strategy to be adopted by the law enforcement agencies to counter the threat posed by ULFA militants.Indicating that embedding of NIA teams since the beginning helped the security force in countering several grenade attacks beforehand in November-December last year in Assam, the official said, that sharing of information and technical inputs with Assam Police helped them in getting breakthroughs in several major cases.As a result of these efforts, the NIA could manage to arrest a member of Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) from Assam’s Goalpara district in the recent past.
