By Staff Reporter

GUWAHATI, July 18 � Security arrangements in and around vital installations have been reviewed with militant outfits, especially the anti-talk faction of the National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB), trying to sneak into the capital city.

�The threat, at this moment, is more from the NDFB than any other outfit. We are taking all precautionary measures to avert any kind of untoward incident,� sources said.

�Although, security arrangements, after the recent blast on the railway tracks in Rangiya, have already been beefed up, another fresh deployment is expected in a day or two,� sources told this reporter.

Meanwhile, a massive operation has been launched against militant outfits by security forces, especially in lower Assam.
