Reports reaching Ranchi from Assam said, the Army and security forces have stepped up counter-insurgency operations against the militants amid reports of Assam Police’s failure to prevent the killings despite prior intelligence specifying date, time and location of the attacks. The state government insisted the intelligence inputs came too close to the attacks, allowing it little time to tighten security.
