Govt bans Assam militant group DHD

New Delhi, July 02: In the wake of its involvement in recent series of violence in Assam, the Centre today banned the Dima Halam Daogah (DHD)-Black Widow militant group.

The decision was taken at a meeting of Cabinet Committee on Security, headed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

This comes in the wake of DHD’s involvement in several violent incidents in North Cachar Hills district where the group targeted businessmen, railway properties besides government officials.

DHD’s chief Jewel Garlosa was arrested in Bangalore last month.
