The amendment also provides for transfer of additional 30 subjects, including public works department, forest, public health engineering, health and family welfare, urban development, and food and civil supply to KAATC and DHATC in Assam. The Union Minister also added that amendment will fulfil the commitments made under Memoranda of Settlement (MoS) signed by the Government of India, state governments of Assam and Meghalaya, United People’s Democratic Solidarity (UPDS), Dima Halam Daogah (DHD) and A’chik National Volunteers’ Council (ANVC).

Times of India reports on March 16 that about 12 Arakan Army (AA) camps operating along Myanmar-Mizoram border were dismantled by Myanmar Army. The operation across Borders Pillars 1 to 9 in south Mizoram was conducted because it was assessed that AA insurgents was posing a threat to the Kaladan project. As Myanmar army has stepped-up operations since January, Indian have reinforced their positions with an additional 15 infantry and Assam Rifles battalions, Special Forces and drones along the entire 1,643-km long border in a major operation code-named Operation Sunrise to prevent any spill over. According to a source, ‘Myanmar Army, in its latest operation conducted in its Chin state opposite South Mizoram from February 17 onwards, has destroyed 10-12 camps of the Arakan Army, an insurgent group based in Myanmar that is closely associated with the Kachin Independence Army (KIA), which has links with China’. AA, which was involved in extortion, had moved some of its cadres to south Myanmar from their bases in the north. Consequently, there was a threat to Indian construction workers in the Kaladan project. Indian Express further adds that AA had set up at least 8-10 camps across the international border with India in the Rakhine state of Myanmar, starting in 2017. Most of the camps were located along the Mizoram-Myanmar border. While the Indian security establishment said the real motive of Arakan Army movement towards Indian side is unclear, the presence of insurgents posed a serious security threat to the Kaladan project. According to an Indian Army official, India’s role in the operation was to ensure the rebels did not cross into its territory and escape, and to this end, at least 10,000 Indian troops (Assam Rifles units) were deployed along the Indo-Myanmar border between February 17 and March 2, reports Hindustan Times. An Army official also added that at least 12 positions of the Arakan Army were destroyed by the Myanmar’s army, and many of the 1500-off rebels were taken into custody. Hindustan Times further adds that Kaladan Multi-Modal Transit Transport project connects Kolkata port with Sittwe seaport in Myanmar, providing an alternative route to and from India’s north-eastern states and reducing pressure on the Siliguri (West Bengal) corridor. The project will also connect Sittwe via an inland river system using the Kaladan river and highways to Zorinpui and Aizawl in Mizoram. Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) is the nodal agency for the implementing the Kaladan project. According to an IWAI official, who asked not to be named, India has already completed one phase of the project.

Government officials stated that over the years, there have been instances of Chinese agencies directly or indirectly providing assistance to militant groups of the Northeast, reports Assam Tribune on March 30. Officials stated that ‘The possibility of Chinese agencies trying to influence the Northeast-based militants to create disturbance during the polls cannot be ruled out, but such groups have very limited capability after their camps were destroyed by Myanmar Army’. Sources further pointed out that though India has cordial relations with Bangladesh, the possibility of the anti-India forces, which have bases in that country, trying to create trouble during the polls cannot be ruled out and that is why, the security of India-Bangladesh border cannot be overlooked. Terrorist outfits like Jamaat-ul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), Neo JMB, which has links with the Islamic State, Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT) are still active in Bangladesh and they may try to sneak into India to create trouble during the polls.
