Assam, Manipur and Meghalaya continue to account for the bulk of insurgency-related incidents in the Northeast although the incidents have steadily increased in Meghalaya in the last eight years compared to the other militancy-inflicted states, reports The Telegraph on April 12. Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) report stated, "The security situation in some of the north-eastern states, which has remained complex for quite some time because of diverse demands advocated by various militant outfits, has been gradually improving in terms of reduction in violent incidents/civilians killed/security forces killed etc. in 2013 and 2014. However, in Assam casualties have gone up because of terrorist attacks by IK Songbijit faction of National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-IKS) in December 2014." While comparing the situation in the Northeast during the past eight years, the report pointed out that violent incidents have come down from 1,489 in 2007 to 824 in 2014 and the number of civilians killed has decreased from 498 to 212. In 2014, 212 civilians and 20 security personnel were killed in the 824 militant-related activities in the Northeast. In 2013, 107 civilians and 18 security forces were killed in 732 incidents. A comparative analysis of the violent incidents reveals that in 2007, Assam had recorded a figure of 474 while in 2014, the figure had dropped to 246. In 2007, Manipur had recorded a figure of 584 while the same in 2014 was 278. Nagaland has also shown a marked improvement with 77 incidents in 2014 compared to 272 incidents in 2007. While the figures in Assam, Manipur and Nagaland have significantly dropped, the narrative for Meghalaya was different. From 28 incidents in 2007, Meghalaya recorded 179 extremist-related incidents in 2014. The report also stated, “The militant outfits of the neighbouring states have encouraged, trained and nurtured the Garo militant groups like the A'chik National Volunteers' Council (ANVC) and Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA), Independent faction of united Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-I), NDFB-IKS, United Achik Liberation Army (UALA) and Isak-Muivah faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN -IM) also have their 'command structure' in Garo hills." However, the ANVC was disbanded in December 2014 in Tura, West Garo hills, along with its breakaway faction, the ANVC-B, after a memorandum of settlement (MoS) was signed with the outfits in September 2014.

According to latest Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) figures, kidnappings, a staple insurgent activity in the North-East, has seen a significant decline this year, with the worst-affected state of Assam showing a nearly 70 per cent drop in kidnapping incidents even as the recently banned Khaplang faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K) outfit resorted to maximum abductions for any outfit in 2015, reports The Economic Times on September 22. The figures show that 182 kidnappings have been reported this year from the seven northeastern states compared to 250 in the same period last year and 369 in all in 2014. Assam has seen the biggest drop - from 125 in 2013 and 94 in 2014 to only 24 so far this year, kidnappings in Meghalaya are down from 110 last year to 45 so far this year and the same is down to 24 in Arunachal Pradesh from 49 last year. The maximum kidnappings by any outfit in the North-East this year, 34, have been done by the just-banned NSCN-K outfit in Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh, followed by 24 by Khole-Khitovi faction of NSCN (NSCN-KK) in both these states and 15 by the Isak-Muivah faction of NSCN (NSCN-IM) - with which a framework agreement was signed recently. In fact, Nagaland has now overtaken Assam as the state worst affected by kidnappings, reporting 55 cases already compared to 65 in all in 2014. The Naga outfits in Manipur along with NSCN-K have meanwhile emerged as the most violent North-East outfits this year, resorting to 65 incidents of terrorism and inflicting 27 casualties on Security Forces (SFs) this year through ambush attacks in Manipur and Nagaland on convoys of Army and Assam Rifles (AR) - the total casualties of SFs this year have hence jumped almost 300 per cent to 40 from only 12 in 2014. Civilian casualties are however down to a record low at only 32 casualties this year compared to 114 in the same period last year. Tripura, where the State Government lifted Armed Forces [Special Powers] Acts (AFSPA) earlier this year, continues to be the most peaceful state in the North-East, reporting only one violent incident, a single civilian death and two killings of SFs. Manipur, the worst-affected state by insurgency in North-East, has seen an improvement, with violent incidents down by nearly 25 per cent.

Five days after Chokpot Block Development Officer (BDO) Jude Rangku T Sangma, who was abducted by Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) militants from Deku Deganggre village on October 27, Police are still clueless on the whereabouts of the official, reports The Shillong Times on November 2. Police sources have admitted to lack of information on the fate of the BDO. A day after the kidnap, the GNLA claimed responsibility for the abduction and stated that the officer had blamed the outfit and politicians for the delay in implementation of projects and withdrawal of funds worth over INR 40 crore. The GNLA has set a November-end deadline for the State Government to stop anti-insurgency operations in Garo Hills in return for the safe release of the BDO. Incidentally, Police officials are tight-lipped on whether operations against militants will continue or has been stopped.

The proscribed Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) announced that the Chokpot Block Development Officer (BDO) Jude Rangku T Sangma was released from its custody unharmed on November 2, reports The Shillong Times. The outfit informed this through a social media statement. The BDO was kidnapped at Deku Deganggre village, between Chokpot and Tura, on October 27th evening while heading to a funeral of a relative. The statement, posted by a social media account holder, Takim Shira under the hash tag ‘Garo News 24 Hours (Live)’, only mentioned in the local Garo language that the officer had been released since his custody was no longer required by the group. The release also went on to say that in the future any government officer “who goes against the outfit will face a similar ordeal by being in their custody.”

the Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) has claimed responsibility for the blast at Jhalupara in East Khasi Hills District on November 12, even as the city Police suspect at to be an IED blast, reports The Shillong Times. Superintendent of Police (SP), Vivek Syiem on November 13 said that evidences recovered from the place of occurrence were sent to forensic experts for examination. He also said that Police were on the job though it will be premature to say anything on who was behind the incident. Sources, however, said that those who used the IED apparently chose the time when people were engaging in bursting crackers on November 12. On the other hand, the HNLC publicity secretary Sainkupar Nongtraw claimed that the intention of planting ‘RDX’ in a location like Jhalupara at late night was to avoid human casualties. “We purposely planted the RDX in such a location at late night hours in order to avoid human casualties. Our objective was to make the people realize that if we had planted the RDX at Khyndailad (downtown Shillong) during working hours, human casualties would have been far more than expected,” Nongtraw said in statement. The outfit said the blast was a warning to Nepalese and other non-tribals of Shillong trying to interfere in the affairs of HNLC. “We are not against any community or religion. We respect all as human beings but they should not take it for granted. Many of our local people have been assaulted by Nepali at Langpih and elsewhere,” Nongtraw said.

The people of Tura held a public meeting on November 16 and carried out procession protesting against the Meghalaya High Court’s directive seeking imposition of Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) in Garo Hills, reports The Assam Tribune. While the meeting was held at the Chandmari playground, the rally by senior citizens and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) moved through the town before ending near the office of the Deputy Commissioner (DC), West Garo Hills. The protest rally was spearheaded by several civil organisations including the Garo Students’ Union (Interim body), A'chik Students' Welfare Association (ASWA), All Achik Youth Federation (AAYF) as well as the Garo Hills State Movement Committee (GHSMC). Interestingly to show solidarity with the protestors, most shops across the town shut down during the duration of the rally. At least 1,000 people gathered to show their resentment against the AFSPA and rallied through the streets of Tura town demanding for peace and harmony.

The Meghalaya Police trust deficit on the leaders of the Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC) and its breakaway faction of Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC-B) is well exposed following the arrest of the Jerome Momin, the then self styled ‘Commander in Chief’ of the Garo outfit, reports The Sentinel on November 28. “Going by the striking abilities during the days prior to ceasefire agreement, it is well beyond doubt that the two outfits have not fully deposited the arms and ammunitions,” stated a senior Police official who is monitoring the investigation into the arms transaction indulged by Momin even on a day when his outfit formally signed the peace agreement with the government. “We don’t have inputs on the hidden arms of the ANVC but it should be quite a number,” stated the source. A total of 447 ANVC cadres were part of the disbanding ceremony. They also surrendered 93 numbers of weapons. The ANVC-B cadres numbering 301 members deposited 98 weapons. Interestingly, a majority of the weapons deposited were small pistols and local made guns with only a handful of sophisticated AK rifles. According to Police, at the height of its militancy the ANVC had a stockpile of rocket launchers and light machine guns but these were not surrendered during the disbanding ceremony.

Troops of the Border Security Force (BSF) deployed along the Meghalaya portion of the Indo-Bangladesh border arrested 76 Bangladeshi nationals - all engaged in smuggling and criminal activities - and recovered over 1,300 cattle and other contraband during the past one year, reports The Indian Express on December 1. A BSF Meghalaya Frontier spokesman said the troops also arrested two militants and 10 overground workers (OGW) of different militant outfits during the year, while one Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) militant surrendered before the troops. “Those apprehended during the year included 68 Bangladeshi and 35 Indian smugglers apart from eight other Bangladeshi criminals.

The whereabouts of coal dealer and Church elder Dinar Syiemlieh, who was abducted from Borsora in South West Khasi Hills (SWKH) District on December 3, is still unknown, reports The Shillong Times on December 7. Concerned over the matter, the Meghalaya Mine Owners and Exporters Association and State Co-ordination Committee of Coal Owners, Miners and Dealers Forum have appealed to the abductors to release him unharmed. In a joint statement issued on December 6, the coal bodies said that it is a matter of concern that there are frequent abductions of people including their members for ransom. The organizations appealed to the abductors of Syiemlieh, who hails from Kulang, to release him unconditionally. They also said that Syiemlieh is suffering from ailments related to thyroid and asthma. The Khasi Students Union (KSU), SWKH unit, meanwhile, urged the abductors to release Syiemlieh before December 10.

Garo militant outfits like the Liberation of Achik Elite Force (LAEF) are no longer dependent on imparting arms training for its cadres inside the forests of Garo Hills and are now dispatching them in groups all the way to Myanmar where Naga rebels from the Khaplang faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K) enroll them in their jungle camps and provide them with the necessary expertise on guerilla warfare, reports The Shillong Times. This revelation came to the fore with the surrender of one such trained cadre who gave himself up to Police in North Garo Hills on December 7, just days after his return from that country. Waljit M Sangma (24) of Medu Apal village in Bajengdoba region of North Garo Hills surrendered at Resubelpara. He had joined the LAEF in the month of August, last year. Garo Hills Police have obtained crucial evidence that the LAEF outfit, formed by a former Police commando, had been regularly sending fresh recruits to Myanmar through the Nagaland route to undertake arms training in the NSCN-K camps. The LAEF cadre Waljit was part of one such group which had undergone such training. Waljit was to join a command of the outfit in the Garo Hills region. Police are not ruling out the presence of more foreign returnee cadres inside Garo Hills who are believed to have crossed back the Nagaland border sometime in the middle of November before making their way into Garo Hills through the normal travelling route. Since they do not come back with arms these young boys are able to escape the police dragnet during routine security checks on public transport. One of the key leaders of the group who arranged the foreign jaunt for the young recruits was LAEF chairman Kelwin Sangma who was arrested by Assam Police in October this year, along with two cadres of the Tripura based National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) outfit.
