Kanpur, Aug 16 (PTI) The Centre has suggested to the Assam government that
it may consider bifurcating into three police sub-regions Karbi Anglong
district, where insurgent outfit ULFA has in the recent past killed 36
Hindi-speaking people.

This was stated today by the Minister of State for Home, Sriprakash Jaiswal
after returning from the tour of Karbi Anglong.

Jaiswal told PTI that he has sent his report to Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh, UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil.

Giving details, Jaiswal said that Karbi Anglong district has a population of
around two lakhs of which 55,000 are Hindi-speaking people.

Once Karbi Anglong is divided into three police districts, Hindi-speaking
people could have a separate police station and a Superintendent of Police
(SP), he said.

"If necessary, paramilitary forces can also be deployed in that part of the
district", he said, adding that he has communicated the Centre's proposal to
Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi.

Jaiswal said that the majority of the thirty-six people, who died in the
recent ULFA attacks, were from Bihar, UP and Rajasthan and their livelihood
was mainly agriculture.

He said that while the ULFA targeted Hindi-speaking people the local
populace was living in harmony with them."Such attacks would cease once they
are protected as a group," he said.











The minister said that, "The Centre has sent additional para-military forces
following Assam government's request." PTI
