The terms included an immediate withdrawal of President's rule which was imposed on 27 November The ULFA unexpectedly declared a unilateral ceasefire and proposed negotiations with the center. It also demanded that all political groupings make clear by the end of March their standpoint on Assam's independence and the central government's "colonialism.

ULFA agreed not to interfere in the electoral process. The gesture was regarded as the ULFA's "temporary" response to four month of army occupation and increasing public pressure against the violence in Assam. Thakur resigned after Rajiv Gandhi criticized him for failing to quell the insurgencies in Assam. He was replaced by Loknath Mishra.

Hiteswar Saikia was reappointed as the state's Chief Minister. Operation Rhino was launched after negotiation efforts stumbled. Two hundred and seventy companies of paramilitary forces from four army divisions were dispatched in Assam to push ULFA guerrillas.

ULFA was forced to declare a unilateral and indefinite ceasefire as a result of internal fighting among ULFA members and the arrest of its key leaders. Still, well-trained ULFA militants remained active beyond the control of the army. Also the Bodos continued to agitate for a separate state from Assam.

The state and the central government were in discord because Assam's Chief Minister Saikia wanted to negotiate with the ULFA whereas the central government strongly expressed faith in the Indian constitution and wanted to have the militants surrender their arms. The ULFA accepted a unilateral, indefinite ceasefire, after the release of six remaining hostages abducted in July At least ULFA members surrendered to the central government.

Fifty people were left dead after violent clashes between members of the separatists and non-Bodo peoples in the Kokrajhar and Bongaigon districts of Assam.

The Bodos served an ultimatum for the demarcation of their "homeland" boundaries.

To restore order and combat the rioting between Bodo separatists and the native Assamese population that followed the event, ten truckloads of army troops and hundreds of paramilitary troops were deployed.

Bodo militants attacked four Muslim villages in lower Assam's Kokrajhar district, leaving at least 21 dead and 4, homeless. Twenty-one people were killed during riots between the Bodos and long-time Muslim immigrants in Assam's Barpeta district. Ten Muslim and five Bodo villages were burnt, leading some people to flee.

Police officials indicate that tensions between the two communities began nine days ago after a police party, that was investigating the killings of two Muslims, was ambushed by Bodo militants.

Armed Bodo militants opened fire at Bangladeshi immigrants at the Bansbari relief camp, some km east of the Assamese capital of Guwahati. At least 71 people were killed, including two Bodo guerrillas, and over injured.

In , the federal government and the Bodos signed an accord to reportedly end the insurgency. However, the Bodos are now demanding that villages be included in the autonomous Bodoland area and that the influx of Bangladeshi migrants be curbed. The massacre at the Bansbari relief camp on July 24 has prompted more than 54, people, mostly Muslims, to flee their villages and head towards cities such as Guwahati or Barpeta.

Rajesh Pilot, the federal Minister of State for Home, admits that lapses in the state administration and the lack of adequate police forces led to the massacre of over 70 Bangladeshis at a relief camp last week. In an attempt to check rising violence against Muslims, the Assam government will hire more Muslim policemen.
