Dibrugarh Superintendent of Police Arabinda Kalita said the arrested rebels are being interrogated for more details. Left-wing extremism is a recent phenomenon in Assam.
The state govt has already identified several districts where the Maoist activities are growing and asked the deputy commissioners concerned to implement more developmental schemes in the areas.
