`The Gulf News report about India scaling up offensive against terrorism after rebels kill 80 villagers in Assam was sad to read (‘India scales up offensive against terrorism after rebels kill 80 villagers in Assam,’ Gulf News, December 27). The Indian Northern state of Assam is often facing militant attacks causing more civilian casualties. The state government and central government should have new strategies to eradicate this menace. I am happy the home ministry has taken stringent measures to counterattack the militants. Ultimately, civilians should be protected.
