Three NLFT insurgents surrender

Three NLFT insurgents, who recently escaped from their base camp in the Chittagong Hill Tract of neighbouring Bangladesh, have surrendered to police at Kanchanpur in North Tripura district, police said today.

The militants, belonging to the outlawed National Liberation Front of Tripura, surrendered to police last night, police officials said.

They informed the police that many of their colleagues were trying to leave the camp to return to normal life, they said.

Two insurgent outfits - NLFT and All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF)- were banned by the Union Home ministry in 1997.
