Assam in the mood of talks with ULFA

Whatever the final outcome which emerges, the state is getting ready for a settlement with the militant outfit. The interests may vary but everyone from the Government  to civil society groups and jailed ULFA leaders to the common people insist on the talks between the authorities and ULFA. The media, amidst all, remains excited and tries its best to play a pro-active role to a larger extent.
