[3] KLNLF emerged from the United People's Democratic Solidarity, being against the peace talks between the UDPS and the government.

In January of 2011, the Karbi People's Liberation Tigers split to the KLNCHLF, starting seeking to continue the armed struggle, categorically opposing the peace talks.

The ULFA’s ‘709th battalion’ operated out of two major bases in Karbi Anglong, with the KLNLF providing it with logistic support in return for weapons and ammunition.

These militants had undergone training at a NSCN-IM camp and were reportedly part of the recent batch that passed out from there.

On 13 October 2007, security forces neutralized a joint camp of the NSCN-IM and KLNLF inside Kaki Reserve Forest area in the Karbi Anglong district.

According to official sources, the outfit generated a considerable amount of revenue by targeting the ginger producing Kukis in the Singhason Hills area.
