Daimary gave a list of 579 cadres and 40 weapons, Rout said.

He said the government would set up two camps for the NDFB cadres.

"We will put the cadres in two camps. After six months, we will review the situation and take a further call," he said.

Asked whether the agreement took into consideration the group's involvement in the serial blasts in the state in 2008 which claimed over 100 lives, the senior police officer replied in the negative.

Daimary was arrested from Bangladesh in 2010 and was deported to India. He was released on bail earlier this year for negotiations.

The Union government was represented by Shambhu Singh, Joint Secretary (North East), ministry of home affairs and the state by Gyanendra Dev Tripathi, secretary, home.
