Four days after the All Adivasi National Liberation Army (AANLA) carried out an explosion in the Delhi-bound Rajdhani Express, in which five persons were killed, the Assam Government is all set to ban the outfit and ask the Army to carry out operations against it.

“The state Government is seriously considering a ban on the AANLA,” said Government spokesman Himanta Biswa Sharma. He said the step was necessary as the organisation had acquired dangerous fire-arms and were indulging in acts of sabotage.

According to police, the AANLA, formed in 2006, has a strength of about 80, and is suspected to have links with the NSCN (I-M). It has a strong presence in Golaghat, Sibsagar and Karbi Anglong districts — all bordering Nagaland — and its cadres have been involved in a number of cases of extortion and abduction. According to police, David Tirkey, the chief commander of the AANLA, has been running the outfit from his base in Jharkhand.
