Senior Superintendednt of Police of Kamrup Metro Aditya Prakash Tiwari today said various measures including surveillance, pickets and so on have been taken up to ensure that the militant groups are not able to disrupt peace in Guwahati.
"We cannot rule out the possiblity that militant groups may try to create some disturbance. We have prepared strategies to counter any such effort," Tiwari said here.
He added, "We are also coordinating with other security agencies. Our priority is to safeguard the common people."
Tiwari said ULFA cadres are working closely with other militant groups like the Meghalaya-based Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA).
The Assam police had earlier this week sounded a "general security alert" throughout the state in view of the threat from the Paresh Baruah-led ULFA faction to engage in subversive activities before August 15.
Tiwari also said the city police has started a special drive against cars with tinted windows, as per the recent Supreme Court direction.
"We have achieved worthwhile success and in coming days we will intensify efforts in this regard," he said.
