The United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA-I) on Saturday announced that it has extended the ceasefire for another three months citing the COVID-19 pandemic.
Paresh Baruah, the outfit's self-styled commander-in-chief said in an Assamese statement that the COVID-19 situation prompted the ULFA-I to "unilaterally suspend all military operations in the state for another three months with immediate effect".
Assam Chief Minister welcomed the decision of the ULFA-I saying that he wished this decision should be permanent.
