Meanwhile, two GNLA cadres surrendered before East Garo Hills Superintendent of Police at Williamnagar.
The duo  — Simple Ch Momin alias Saljepa and Clever Ch Marak alias Dompa — surrendered at Williamnagar Police Station without arms.
According to police, Clever Ch Marak alias Dompa was recruited to help Sohan in providing logistic support as well as to spy on police teams entering Durama.
