Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal today condemned the killing two security personnel and asserted that no tolerance would be shown to militants.
Touring Sonitpur and Biswanath districts, Sonowal said, "Extremism will not be tolerated and extremists will be controlled any how."
The security forces had prepared a strategy to arrest the culprits, he said.
In the run-up to Republic Day, four persons, including two Assam Rifles personnel and two militants, were killed and three injured in an ambush and subsequent encounter in Assam's Tinsukia district bordering Arunachal Pardesh yesterday.
The banned ULFA(I), in a statement, claimed that they had carried out the attack along with four other organisations and had killed three security personnel.
