During a function held at Haflong, district headquarters of Dima Hasao, the militant group formally disbanded and formed a NGO named DHD(J) Welfare Society.
“We want peace and development in the hill district,” Niranjan Hojai, the DHD(J) leader said.
The leaders of the disbanded militant group are likely to join in politics.
