The NDFB had built 12 camps on the Bhutan-Assam border. In 2003-2004, the Royal Bhutan Army destroyed these camps as part of its All Clear operation. [12] Ranjan Daimary, head of the NDFB, was pardoned in December 2003 by the head of Assam tarun Gogoi, but refused the offer. On 8 October 2004, the NDFB announced a six-month unilateral ceasefire, which came into force on 15 October. However, the government continued its operations against the group. On 15 April 2005, the NDFB extended the ceasefire. The government fired its secretary general, Govinda Basumatary, to open a communication channel with the Bangladesh-based organization`s management. This led to a ceasefire agreement between the NDFB and the government on 25 May 2005. The agreement stated that the NDFB was ready to put an end to hostile actions against security forces and civilians. In exchange, the security forces would not conduct any operations against the members of the group. The agreement also provided that NDFB members disarm for a year and live in army-protected camps and do not support other militant groups. [16] The pact came into force on 1 June 2005.

However, some factions of the NDFB continued their activism. In May 2006, five members of the security forces were abducted and killed by suspected NDFB members in the Udalguri neighbourhood of Assam. The group continued to collide with the executives of the former BLTF (Bodo Liberation Tiger Force). On 5 June 2006, two former BLTF cadres were killed by NDFB fighters in Karbi Anglong district and a former member of the dissolved group was lynched on 3 June 2007 by suspected NDFB fighters in Golaghat district. [16] Bodoland (also Boroland), officially the Bodoland Territorial Region, is an autonomous region in lower Assam in northeastern India. It consists of four districts on the north bank of the Brahmaputra River, in the foothills of Bhutan and Arunachal Pradesh. It is managed by an elected body, known as the Bodoland Territorial Council and concluded as part of a peace agreement signed in February 2003, and its autonomy was renewed by an agreement signed in January 2020. The area covers more than 8,000 square kilometres and is mainly inhabited by the Bodo and other indigenous communities in Assam. [3] The Union Government, in the context of the discussion with the Bodo Liberation Tigers, nevertheless requested the implementation of the previous agreement with the BSS on the use of Devanagari writing if the Boro language were to be included in the eighth calendar of the Indian Constitution. Subsequently, ABSU and BSS agreed to use the Devanagari script exclusively and the matter was eventually settled. Historically, the bodoland territorial region has been inhabited by the Boros or Bodos or Kacharis and Mechs.
