Assam Police Arrest Two ULFA(I) Cadres, Foil Planned Terror Attack in Tinsukia
Assam Police, with central agency support, arrested two active ULFA(I) cadres in Tinsukia district, foiling a planned terror attack targeting civilians.

Preliminary investigations suggest the attack aimed to spread fear and may involve external actors seeking regional destabilization. Security forces continue probing the broader network behind the plot.
