One United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) militant was killed and other injured by locals at Joraguri village in the Golaghat district on October 1, Telegraph reports. Mangal Singh, a.k.a. Amrit Goswami, a "sergeant major" in the ULFA battalion’s B Company was fatally wounded along with two of his accomplices for trying to intimidate Sajal Chakraborty, an Asom Gana Parishad leader, in his house. The militants were allegedly trying to extort money from the leader. Meanwhile, the ULFA has reiterated that it would sit for talks even in Dispur within 48 hours of the Government of India declaring its willingness to talk on restoration of sovereignty of Assam, according to Assam Tribune. The ULFA, in its mouthpiece Shwadhinata, said that the peace process ended in a deadlock because of lack of sincerity on the part of the Government of India. The outfit alleged that though it showed sincerity for a negotiated settlement, the Government started imposing new conditions, which resulted in the process ending in a deadlock. The ULFA said that Ministers and officials of the Government of India started issuing derogatory statements, while the Army always opposed the peace process. The outfit also alleged that the Army and some officials and Ministers of the Government of India always tried to stall the peace process.

On October 3, inaugurating a two-day conference of directors-general and inspectors-general of police in New Delhi, the Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil said that the intelligence agencies of States were not strong and adequate enough to meet the challenges of terrorism, reports Times of India. Patil said special branches in States should be strengthened where men and officers are retained for sufficient periods with enough incentives to keep them motivated. Expressing his concerns about the low police-population ratio in the country, he said, “Police-to-population-ratio in India is very low. Therefore, conscious efforts are needed to improve the situation by augmenting the state police force and filling up vacancies at different levels.” He further said that the presence of terrorist sleeper cells in mega cities was one of the major concerns of the government. These sleeper cells, which were often funded with fake currency, had the capacity to become active at their will, Patil said. These cells had developed an effective mechanism to go under the radar of intelligence agencies, he added.

On October 4, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, speaking at the annual conference of Directors and Inspectors-General of Police in New Delhi, said that the internal security situation in the country continued to “remain a cause of concern”. Referring to the terrorist attacks in Hyderabad and the Naxalite (left-wing extremist) violence, Dr. Singh said these pointed to the formidable challenges faced by the country. “Violent incidents continue in some states of the North-East, particularly in Assam, Manipur and Nagaland. The ethnic overtones of violent acts in Assam are particularly disturbing. While the situation in Jammu & Kashmir has shown some overall improvement, violent incidents keep recurring,” he said. He called on top police officials to pay equal attention to the concerns of ordinary citizens, in addition to combating the high-profile challenges of terrorism, naxalism and separatist violence. He said, “While some of it could be a result of personal frustration, some of it also arises out of dissatisfaction over the functioning of the law enforcement and justice systems.” The Prime Minister underlined the need for an all-round improvement in training, skills, equipment, resources and attitude among the police personnel.

According to Times of India, normal life across the State was partially affected by the State-wide strike called by the CPI-Maoist on October 6 to protest the alleged anti-people policies of the State government. Several passenger trains passing through Maoist pockets in Barakakhana-Garwah Road under Dhanbad division of East Central railway were either cancelled or diverted. Also, vehicular movement was disrupted as transporters kept their commercial vehicles and long-distance buses off the road anticipating violence in the Maoist strongholds. However, other than the Maoists strongholds in Palamu, Chatra, Latehar, Garwah, East and West Singhbhum districts, where shops also downed their shutters, normal life in other areas of the State remained largely unaffected.

Sadeeq claimed that the top PLA and LeT leadership was in frequent contact with each other through latest channel of communications including internet and mobile telephones. Commanders of the two outfits, if required, also meet in some selected areas of Uttar Pradesh, he revealed. According to him, no LeT militant either from Kashmir or from Pakistan has been deputed in North East so far mainly for the fear of their identification and language problem. Though similar was the problem for North East militants in Jammu and Kashmir too but some of them were deputed by the PLA to Kashmir with the assurance that they would operate in the upper reaches only. He stated that the PLA and LeT had come close to each other only in 2006 after receiving instructions from the ISI.

Shillong Times quoting Meghalaya police source reports that there was movement of militants belonging to the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM), United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and the Liberation of Achik Elite Force (LAEF) in the entire Balpakram National Park of South Garo Hills district. A search operation was reportedly carried out by the security force (SF) personnel. "It is sheer impossible to cover every area of the park but we are doing our best by focusing on specific areas," an unnamed police officer engaged in the search operation said. Militants belonging to various outfits had earlier used the park for setting up training camps and also as a safe sanctuary against SF personnel, because of remoteness of the area and absence of large-scale human habitation along the park. With the annual coal export to start at Nangalbibra in October, militants are suspected to be indulging in extortion drives.

On October 16, the National Security Advisor (NSA) M. K. Narayanan stated that attempts have been made in Pakistan to revive Sikh extremism in Punjab. On board Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s aircraft, Narayanan told Indian Express, "There has been a manifest attempt in Pakistan to build up a radical Sikh environment. Sporadic blasts were creating sensation, but the desired effect of sustained tension was not working. We had intelligence about four to six months back that a lot of effort was going into attempts to foment militancy." He further said, "We have tracked intelligence information, we have studied the way such attacks take place and we can read a pattern. We have also seen signs of resuscitation of militant groups in Canada, US and Germany. We had been bracing for such a move by such elements." The NSA, however, ruled out that there is any links between the recent series of explosions. "There is no connection between the blasts in Ludhiana, Ajmer and Mecca Masjid (Hyderabad), other than the fact that the ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence)’s involvement is suspected, that is the common link", Narayanan said.

Shillong Times quoting Meghalaya Police source reports that the Nagaland-based National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) and the Liberation of Achik Elite Force (LAEF) have joined hands to extort money from the coal traders in the South Garo Hills district. On October 17, B.K. Dey Sawian, the Director General of Police, disclosed that the NSCN-IM has set up a camp in the Balpakram National Park in South Garo Hills with the help of the LAEF to extort money from coal traders in the district. The report added that after the rainy season, coal export to Bangladesh would resume in November in the Nangalbibra area of South Garo Hills, where criminal activities, including extortion and abductions for ransom, occur on a regular basis. While commenting on the recent counter-insurgency operations in the entire Balpakram National Park, Sawian said, "We, however, could not make much progress as the area where the NSCN (I-M) has set up the camp is inaccessible." Balpakaram area was earlier used by many militant outfits for training and taking shelter. Following the killing of Peter Marak, 'commander-in-chief’ of the LAEF, his younger brother Darong Marak has reportedly been trying to strengthen the outfit with the help of the NSCN-IM. Sawian mentioned that the State Home Department has asked for intervention of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs in the NSCN-IM’s activities.

The National Socialist Council of Nagaland- Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) on October 27 blamed the Union government for the recent fratricidal killings in the state, reports Telegraph. The outfit’s information and publicity ministry said that such killings that had put “Nagalim’s peace at stake” was the failure of the Indian security forces to restrain the cadres of the rival Khaplang faction (NSCN-K) from moving around with criminal intentions and agendas. The NSCN-IM warned of a showdown in the near future if New Delhi fails to control the NSCN-K activities. A communiqué by the outfit said, “The NSCN-IM’s blunt message to the government of India is to stop the Khaplang group from any anti-peace activities and anti-NSCN activities. The present scenario gives clear indications that the government of India has failed again to show its face of sincerity and commitment by feigning ignorance that appears to be more pretentious than anything else.”
