May 15, 2019 will go down in the history of Assam as one of the darkest days because ULFA(I) once again dared to raise its head after remaining in wilderness for a long period of time. The grenade blast on that ill fated day brought back the horror of violent insurgency that Assam witnessed in the early 1980s.

The May 15 blast has raised one question—is it the beginning of a new phase of insurgency in Assam? Well the answer to this question is yet to come. But the fact is ULFA (I) meticulously planned this ghastly operation and executed its plan leaving the Assam police force speechless.
