In Assam More than 25 Bodo political and non-political organisations from Bodoland Territorial Administered Districts (BTAD) have formed a united forum and urged the government to hold talks with both factions of the NDFB.<br/>Bodoland Progressive Front (BPF) General Secretary Prabin Boro told news persons that the government should take immediate steps to stop fratricidal clashes in the BTAD areas as this had adversely affected development in these areas.<br/>BPF is a constituent of the united forum and almost all prominent organisations, including NDFB's Ranjan Daimary faction, have joined hands for the first time to stop violence and take the development aspect forward.<br/>The forum, however, will not demand a separate state immediately but focus on creating a violence free atmosphere for all-round development of Bodo dominated areas, he added.<br/>
