“These steps and initiatives taken by the security agencies involved in these exercises are commendable. Since the outbreak of these mindless attacks on our communities, this is what we have been asking for and it’s heartwarming to see our security personnel beginning to go into the bushes.

“Their decision to take the fight right to the armed terrorists who have made camps in the bushes around some of our communities is indeed gratifying and an assurance to us that with such proactive measures, our displaced people will soon start sleeping in their destroyed villages with their two eyes closed and resuming their farming activities.”

Kuzamani said he was happy with the collaboration between the security personnel and local vigilantes which led to the repelling of the terrorists when they attacked Rafin Dadi in Kaninkon chiefdom on February 27.
