Assam: Renewed Hopes of Peace

Rail services were resumed through North Cachar Hills district, bringing relief to south Assam districts, Tripura and Mizoram. Trains have been suspended since May 15 2008 due to frequent attacks by the Dima Halam Daogah (Jewel). The first round o f talks with the pro-talk faction of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) were held in Assam directly under the Centre’s aegis. Three leaders of the pro-talk faction - Mrinal Hazarika, Prabal Neog and Jiten Dutta - participated in the meet. 'This is our first meeting with any central government representative with the discussion ending on a very positive note. We once again reiterated our demands and urged the official to take steps for furthering the peace process,' Hazarika told IANS.
