Guwahati: The New Delhi-headquartered Quippo Oil and Gas Infrastructure Limited has agreed to create 5,000 jobs for Assamese youths to secure the release of their two employees abducted by the banned United Liberation Front of Assam (Independent) or ULFA(I), the mediator negotiating between the two sides has claimed.
Speaking to ThePrint, Kaushik Phukan, the mediator, said the negotiation between the two sides concluded late Monday evening, adding that there would be no payment of ransom.
“We have wrapped up the talks. We will have them (Quippo employees) back with us very soon. Both sides are positive. Quippo will create 5,000 jobs for eligible engineers from Assam,” Kaushik Phukan, the mediator between Quippo and ULFA, told ThePrint. He is the son of missing former mediator Rebati Phukan who was working to resolve issues between the Government of India and ULFA (I) through peace dialogue.
