In the wee hours of Wednesday, the Army in a joint operation with the Assam Police busted an NDFB(S) camp and neutralised one of its hardcore terrorists in Ripu Reserve Forest in Lalbhita area in Kokrajhar district.
The operation was carefully planned and launched swiftly, wherein the elite troops moved in a tactical manner and closed in on the camp, said an army statement.
