The 'foreign secretary' of GNLA, identified
as Briyan R. Marak alias Millam (40) surrendered before Police
without any arms at Baghmara in South Garo Hills District. According
to Police, Briyan played a key part in forging close ties with
the ULFA-I, NDFB and NSCN-U in Bangladesh. Briyan R. Marak's
surrender has come as another body blow for the elusive GNLA
'c-in-c' Sohan D. Shira after scores of senior leaders and cadres
surrendered in the past one year. The GNLA 'c-in-c' is learnt
to be with a handful (approximately 20) cadres and well armed,

Aizawl/ Mizoram |
At a meeting of the CMs of the four States of
North East bordering Myanmar, in Aizawl, the Arunachal Pradesh
CM Pema Khandu told Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh that India's
open border with Myanmar has been a major problem for Arunachal
Pradesh because of militants from the other side. He said "The
entire region of Tirap, Changlang and Longding [border districts]
is adversely affected by NSCN insurgency. Cadres of various NSCN
factions -IM, K, U, R- are very active in the entire region… The
situation has been exacerbated by the recent declaration of the
NSCN-K as an unlawful organisation." "Though there is no home-grown
militancy in Arunachal, activities of underground groups from
Assam and Nagaland and from across the border with Myanmar has
adversely affected the security situation in the state," he added.
