Kokrajhar, Mar 8: Altogether 590 former NDFB militants received one-time rehabilitation grant from the government on Saturday.

The former militants were handed over cheques of Rs 4 lakh each at a function in Kokarjhar town in Assam.

With this, a total of 4,793 former NDFB militants have received the grant.

Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) chief executive member Pramod Boro stressed the importance of completing the assimilation process of the ex-militants.
