Former ULFA Cadres Lead Paddy Seedling Campaign for Flood-Affected Farmers in Assam
Former ULFA cadres in Upper Assam are leading a campaign to produce and distribute paddy seedlings for farmers affected by recent floods in districts including Sivasagar, Charaideo, Jorhat, and Golaghat. This grassroots effort involves former insurgents, local farmers, tea garden workers, students, and community groups working together to restore livelihoods before the sowing season. The initiative includes sowing 12 indigenous paddy varieties on 35 bighas of land at Deohal Tea Estate, with participation from nearly 200 former ULFA members across multiple areas.
