The ULFA delegation said that they had the mandate from their
Chairman and the Executive Council to inform the Bhutan Government
that the ULFA is willing to close down the following camps.
i. The Gobarkonda camp in the Manas Wildlife Sanctuary.
ii. The Nangri camp in Pemagatshel District
iii. The Deori camp under Samdrup Jongkhar District
iv. The Military Training Centre under Matshala Block
They also informed the RGOB delegation that the ULFA camp in
Daifam had been recently closed down and that they had a Military
Training Centre and another camp called the Middle Zonal Camp under
Martshala Block.
3. When the Home Minister asked Mr. Burhagohain and Mr. Hazarika
where they were going to shift their camps from Bhutan they mentioned
that the cadres from the camps will be sent to ULFA camps outside
Bhutan. On being asked when the shifting of the camps will take place
the ULFA delegation said they will require time untill December as they
can only shift the camps after the monsoon season.
4. The Home Minister and the Chairman of the Royal Advisory Council asked Mr.
Burhagohain and Mr. Hazarika whether they were thinking of consolidating the
nine camps into five big camps. The ULFA delegation said that they would not
only shift the above camps but would also reduce the strength of the remaining
five camps.
5. The Home Minister pointed out that there has to be a specific time frame for the
remaining ULFA camps to be shifted from Bhutan. Otherwise, the shifting of
the camps mentioned by them would serve no purpose with five major camps
still remaining in Bhutan.
