The three factions of insurgent outfit National Democratic Front of Boroland dissolved themselves on Monday at a designated camp of the NDFB in lower Assam's Udalguri district where it was formed 34 years ago.

The disbandment of the three NDFB factions followed as a result of their signing a peace accord with the Centre and the Assam government early this year.

The NDFB's three factions, led respectively by Dhiren Boro, Ranjan Daimary and B Saoraigwra, announced their dissolution in a joint disbandment ceremony.

The function was organised at the Sonai NDFB designated camp in Udalguri under the chairmanship of ex-general secretary B Ohnjalu of Ranjan Daimary-led NDFB faction.

A joint statement signed by Dhiren Boro, ex-president of NDFB (D), B Ohnjalu, ex-general secretary of NDFB (Ranjan Daimary) and B Saoraigwra, ex-president of NDFB (S), said the NDFB was formed on October 3, 1986 to "free the Boro and other indigenous tribal people of Assam from socio-politico and economic exploitation and suppression."
