The Kamtapuri Liberation Organization (KLO) is a separatist militant group that seeks to establish an independent Kamtapuri state in the regions of North Bengal and Assam, predominantly inhabited by the Kamatapuri people.
Keeping in view the sudden spurt in activities of militant organizations in North Bengal, especially the Kamtapuri Liberation Organization in recent days, it is felt that a dedicated Special Operation Group is the need of the hour to effectively monitor and counter such activities.
