The security personnel retaliated with controlled fire and in the ensuing fire fight, three top terrorist of the outlawed group National Democratic Front of Bodoland(Songbijit) got neutralised.
Two of the killed terrorist have been identified as Rahul Basumatari and Ritu Basumatari.
Four Pistols, a large quantity of ammunition, Hand Grenades and other war like stores have beeen recovered from the slain terrorists.
The neutralisation of these terrorists has come as a major setback for the group, as it is already reeling under the preassure due to the relentless CI/CT operations launched against them by the Army in conjunction with other Security forces.
“The surgical operation carried out under the prevailing torrential rains, in thick foliage and under growth of the Assam Jungles is highly commendable and a hallmark of the Armys dedicated efforts to usher peace in the region,” an army official said.
