ULFA Cadre Surrenders to Security Forces in Arunachal Pradesh
A young man who was part of a group called ULFA decided to stop being an insurgent and turned himself in to the police and army in a place called Tirap in Arunachal Pradesh.
He was 23 years old and gave them a gun and some bullets.
The police and army worked together, using information they had, to encourage him to surrender.
This shows that when different security groups work as a team, they can help people who were part of rebel groups come back to live normally.
He was given over to the police to follow the rules and get help.
A 23-year-old ULFA cadre, Kamal Akhun alias Vikas Mohanta, surrendered to security forces in Arunachal Pradesh's Tirap district.

The cadre deposited a 7.65 pistol with one magazine and six live rounds.
The surrendered cadre and weapons have been handed over to the police for legal and rehabilitation processes.
