Guwahati: A tripartite peace agreement was signed in New Delhi on Thursday (April 27) by the Central and Assam government and representatives of the Dimasa rebel outfit from the northeastern state. During this, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma and other senior officials were present. An agreement was signed with the Dimasa National Liberation Army-Dimasa People's Supreme Council (DNLA/DPSC).

During this, Home Minister Amit Shah said on the agreement that it is a matter of happiness that DNLA/DPSC has decided to stay away from violence. He said that today 168 workers of these groups have joined the mainstream. This is a big step in PM Narendra Modi's vision of a peaceful and prosperous Northeast. The Home Minister said that the Assam government will set up a Dimasa Welfare Council and ensure their speedy and focused development. 

Amit Shah further said that under the accord, all necessary steps will be taken to protect, preserve and promote social, cultural and linguistic identity to meet political, economic and educational aspirations. The home minister said the agreement also provides for the appointment of a commission under Article 14 of the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution to examine the demand for inclusion of additional villages adjoining the North Cachar Hills Autonomous Council (NCHC).

In this agreement, the steps to be taken by the Central and Assam government for the rehabilitation of the surrendered armed cadres of DNLA have been mentioned. Along with the NCHAC, the Center and the Assam government will spend a special development package of Rs 500 crore over a period of five years for the all-round development of the Dimasa people living in other parts of the state. 

At the same time, Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said that this agreement will bring peace to the Dimasa people and the areas falling under Dima Hasao and Karbi Anglong districts of Assam. DNLA cadres deposited 43 weapons before this accord and resolved to return to the mainstream. From now on officially there will be no tribal insurgent group left in Assam.
