Guwahati, Apr 8 (IBNS): Security forces have busted a NSCN (K) camp at Lekhapani area along Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border on Friday, officials said on Saturday.

According to the reports, a troop of Assam Rifles conducted a major operation at Balijan village near Lekhapani in Tinsukia district and destructed a NSCN(K) hideout.

Kohima based Defence PRO Colonel Chiranjeet Konwer said that, based on specific intelligence about presence of NSCN(K) cadres trying to terrorize and attempting extortion at Paharpur and Balijan villages, the Assam Rifles troops of Changlang and Jairampur battalions had launched operation at the area and busted a camp of the outfit in dense forest area.

The cadres of the outfit had managed to escape from the area.

Security forces found the hideout consisting of temporary hutments.

"Theunder grounds had been using this hideout as adhoc base for operations for terrorizing and carrying out extortion in the neighboring villages," the Defence PRO said.

On the other hand, security personnel had arrested two NSCN (K) cadres from Nagaland's Mon district on Friday.

Security forces had recovered two pistols, ammunition in possession from them.
