This mission was carried out in an effort to bring Assam, an Indian state, under its own sovereignty. It was fought against the Royal Bhutanese Army in December 2003 and dealt devastating blows to the ethnic terrorist organization. Among those were the loss of ULFA's leaders which many refused to accept as fact. Instead, ULFA supporters remain adamant that the leaders are being held by the army.
