On June 27, 33 militants surrendered their arms before security forces in Manipur.
Twenty two surrendered cadres were from Pakhan Reunification Army, 10 from the National Socialist Council of Nagalim both Isak Muivah and Khaplang faction and one from the Naga Nationalist Council laid down their arms at a formal ceremony organized at the Red Shield Auditorium at Leimakhong Army headquarter.
"In my opinion, I do not think I have surrendered. But I think I have come back home. I hope both the centre and the state governments will work together and come up with a solution," said Molum Anal Mate, commander-in-chief, PRA
The surrendered militants will be provided assistance in their rehabilitation process, officials said.
"This is again a landmark towards peace in the state. PRA is an important group and with their homecoming the districts of Churachandpur and Thoubal will be more peaceful than ever," said Y Joykumar Singh, Director- General of Police (DGP), Manipur
Over 170 militants have surrendered their arms in 2011.
The mass surrenders of the PULF (Umar Farooq faction) and KCP MC (Lallumba faction) and PRA have set an example for other outfits to find peaceful solutions and avoid violence.
