In Assam, the militant outfit Mar People’s Convention-Democratic (HPC-D) on 2 December 2011 declared a unilateral ceasefire paving the way for peace talks with the Government. The outfit announced this before their cadres somewhere in a dense forest near the district headquarter of Halflong.
The step was taken in response to Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram and Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi’s latest appeal to the militant outfits of the North-East to shun violence and to come for negotiations. The outfit announced it would not indulge in any kind of violence any more in the interest of creating a congenial atmosphere for the peace talks.
