Abu Fazal, one of the six Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) cadres who escaped from Khandwa prison on October 1, had accompanied his module to recce the Allahabad High Court's Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) bench twice in two months after the September 30, 2010, verdict on the Ramjanmabhoomi-Babri masjid dispute, an ex-Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) official said, The Times of India reports on October 3.

Indian Mujahideen (IM) was in touch with the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), discussing a possible tie-up with the Left-wing extremist outfit to procure explosives and ammunition for use in terror attacks in India, arrested IM mastermind Yasin Bhatkal has revealed, reports The Times of India on October 2. Bhatkal, during the course of his interrogation by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), is said to have disclosed a meeting with senior CPI-Maoist leader, known to him only by the "alias" Manjar, in Harsa region of southern Nepal around six months ago. The secret meeting, Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) sources told The Times of India, explored the prospects of a pact between IM and CPI-Maoist, wherein the latter would make available arms, ammunition and explosives — sourced through its wide network — to IM for terror attacks. Sources said the IM offered handsome payments to the Maoists for supply of weapons and explosives. Most of these funds would come from IM's Pakistani mentors. However, the talks could not culminate immediately into a deal.

The Army has launched a major anti- infiltration operation against militants and suspected Pakistan special troops holed up in an area along Line of Control (LoC) in Keran Sector of Kupwara District in which five Indian soldiers have been injured, reported The Times of India on October 2. The counter infiltration operations in the Keran sector that have been continuing for the last nine days after 30 to 40 terrorists had tried to infiltrate from multiple points on the Line of Control(LoC) on the night of September 24, in which 10-12 militants were killed so far. General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the Army’s 15 Corps Lt General Gurmit Singh said that it is premature to say whether Pakistan army is involved in the infiltration of militants but there are some special troops. “From the operation that is going on till now and the strength of infiltrators and the multiple points at they attempted to infiltrate, indicate that definitely there were some special troops. This is quite different from the trend we have seen in the earlier infiltration attempts,” added the General. He said that it is a Border Action Team (BAT) cum militants and number of infiltrators who made the attempt is large. “I can only say, analyzing the methodology of this infiltration, it was not a pure infiltration. It was a BAT cum infiltration. The number of militants who attempted this infiltration was rather large. In fact, yesterday night 10 to 12 militants tried to sneak into the cordoned area from across.” GOC rejected reports that Army is taking help of Air Force in the operation. "We are in total control of the operation which was launched on September 24. The reports of our posts being captured by the infiltrators are absurd," GOC added.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on October 2, secured first conviction in a terror case involving Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operatives, reports The Times of India. An NIA special court convicted 13 operatives linked to LeT, including T Nazeer and Sarfaraz Nawaz, for recruiting youth from Kerala for terror training and planning attacks across the country. Four of these recruits had been killed in an encounter in Kupwara, Jammu and Kashmir, by Security Forces in 2008. Sarfaraz Nawaz was the key conspirator who had also provided finances and logistic support to the LeT network operating in Kerala under T Naseer, NIA sources said. "We have conclusively proven that the accused persons facilitated the movement of five boys from the state of Kerala to the Jammu and Kashmir to undertake arms training and wage 'jihad' against the country. These boys had not only been trained by LeT in 2008, but had also taken part in an armed action against the security forces in the Lolab forests of Kupwara which had resulted in the death of the four of the five youth," said an NIA officer.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) team arrived in Khandwa (Madhya Pradesh) on October 2, to investigate the jailbreak, reports The Times of India. "We're working on the information about the jail-breakers seen at Mordhad station at around 8.30am on Tuesday, but are yet to get anything clinching," said additional Superintendant of Police (SP) Gopal Khandel. Search operations, particularly in areas along the MP-Maharashtra border, are continuing and posters bearing pictures and details of the six have been pasted with a reward of INR 1, 00,000 announced for information leading to their arrest. Moreover, the NIA has gathered from arrested Indian Mujahideen (IM) ‘India operation chief’ Yasin Bhatkal and operative Asadullah Akhtar's interrogation as well as other independent sources that new sleeper IM modules have been set up without the involvement or knowledge of Bhatkal, and the escaped SIMI cadres may reactivate these modules to unleash a fresh wave of terror. The agencies suspect more such jailbreaks in the coming days, including in Sabarmati Jail where an escape bid by 2008 Ahmedabad blasts accused, including top SIMI cadres, was earlier foiled in February, 2013. A fresh attempt to break Sabarmati Jail was unraveled by Asadullah Akhtar during his questioning.

Gujarat government has done little to improve security along Gujarat's 1,600km coastline, according to the latest Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) report that was presented in the state assembly on October 3, reports The Times of India. "The locations identified for some check posts and outposts were found water-logged and hence were constructed deep inside the mainland at six places of Ahmedabad and Banaskantha districts," said the CAG, which audited Gujarat's implementation of the centrally sponsored Coastal Security Scheme (CSS). Moreover, the shortfall in sea patrolling has been pegged between 78 per cent and 91 per cent, while night patrolling ranges from zero to 34 per cent of the prescribed frequency. "Boat repair facility was at a distant place and the delay in repair of boats [was] four to 13 months," the report said. Further, the report said 36 of the 50 coastal check posts and outposts are not operational because police personnel have not been deployed there. "No effective measures were taken by the agriculture and co-operation (fisheries) department for preventing Indian fishermen from crossing the International Maritime Boundary Line," the report said. "Rs 46.16 crore satellite-based vessel traffic system was also not established. Shortage of manpower ranges between 35 to 46% and out of trained staff, 69% was deployed on non-policing duties."

The Chhattisgarh Government has sought nearly 1,500 companies of Central forces for the Assembly elections, in addition to the existing battalions in Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-controlled tribal Districts of south Chhattisgarh, reports The Hindu. At least half of the additional forces will be placed in south Chhattisgarh, senior officials told The Hindu. The State had sought nearly 860 companies in the 2008 Assembly elections. Senior State and Central officials said the intensity of Maoist action had enhanced “proportionately with the increasing number of police encounters” in the Maoist stronghold, forcing the government to seek additional forces. Director-General of Police (DGP) Ramniwas said that “assuming that the election could also be conducted in one phase” the request had been forwarded. “Last time we got 330 companies and the same force stayed for the second phase. But, even if the rest of the State does not require such a huge force for each phase, Bastar will always require 800 companies,” the DGP said.

We were leading a hell of life in jungles. We are being physically and mentally tortured by the Maoist group leaders. We have now got a new lease of life.

Unravelling Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI's) direct handling of Indian Mujahideen (IM), arrested IM ‘India operation chief’ Yasin Bhatkal told National Investigation Agency (NIA) how ISI takes care of funding, training and resources for attacks in India, The Times of India reports on October 4. The execution of terror strikes, however, is left almost entirely to IM. Bhatkal further claimed that ISI, and not Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), had imparted him training for two months in Pakistan in 2006, which covered handling of explosives, assembling of bombs, indoctrinating young Muslims and covert operations. ISI officials facilitated his entry and exit from Pakistan at the time, put him up at the spy agency's safe house in Karachi and ensured that he travelled under heavy security cover. Bhatkal has revealed that top IM operatives, including Riyaz Bhatkal, Iqbal Bhatkal, Amir Reza Khan, Mohammad 'Bada' Sajid, Dr. Shahnawaz, are based in Karachi (provincial capital of Sindh), living in safe houses provided by the ISI.

"ILF is strong in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. These arrested terror suspects were waiting for the right opportunity to strike during Modi's future tours in South India, which was their prime target. So, they took shelter in Puttur, planning and organising with an intention to kill right-wing leaders,'' an unnamed senior official, requesting anonymity, said. The arrest was followed by a huge haul of explosives, including magnetic bombs, in the house at Puttur, Police sources said, adds The Hindu.

They requested rice and other groceries and collected nearly 2.5 kg of the grain and disbursed pamphlets on Maoists ideals to the family members. Later, a 12-member team of the same group looted nearly 50 kg of rice and other provisions, such as cooking oil, sugar and vegetables, from a nearby tea estate office around 7 p.m., the Police said. Though a team, led by S .Prabhakaran, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Kalpetta sub-division, made a search at night, they could not trace anyone, District Police Chief K.K. Balachandran told The Hindu. A platoon of Thunderbolts commandos reached the District on October 6 and searched the periphery of the forests. This was the seventh such incident reported in the district since February 15. The Police had identified the presence of militants in four of the incidents from evidence collected from the public. It was also reported that a similar group of militants visited the Karimkannikunnu Kattunayakka colony, an isolated tribal colony on the banks of the Banasurasagar dam, near Thariyode ,a few weeks ago and distributed pamphlets to the members of the colony after collecting food materials.

But Andhra Pradesh is one state where we have done excellent work in curbing Naxalism. I am quite confident that even after the formation of Telangana they will completely cut down the activities of Naxalites.”

Senior officials of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) fear that a long spell of “zero-governance” in Andhra Pradesh due to the growing protest against the creation of Telangana could see escalation of the Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] problem, while law and order could deteriorate, particularly in Hyderabad, reports The Hindu. Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde on October 7 briefed Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the situation in the State. As the protest spread to more areas in Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra Pradesh, the officials are apprehensive that the Communist party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) would now try and reassert their presence in areas where the Police and paramilitary forces have managed to regain control in the last few years. Moreover, as paramilitary forces engaged in anti-Naxal operations were being diverted to contain protests, Maoists would sense a chance to regroup. “It is a well-known fact that most of the top Maoist leaders belong to the economically backward Telangana region, which used to be the hotbed of Naxal activities. Persistent operations by Greyhound commandos of the Andhra Pradesh Police, along with the paramilitary forces, forced Maoists to shift base to the neighbouring States. But now with attention diverting towards protests and people getting restless, Naxals might try and rebuild the cadre base in the State,” a senior MHA official said. Of the 10 districts of the proposed Telangana State, which shares borders with some of the Naxal strongholds like Gadchiroli in Maharashtra and Bastar in Chhattisgarh, 8 have been declared worst hit by the Left Wing Extremism. They include onetime Maoist hotbeds of Karimnagar, Warangal and Adilabad. Significantly, even the other Districts that will fall in divided Andhra Pradesh are also facing Naxal problem, which include Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam that have turned out to be the epicentres of the current anti-Telangana protests. “Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy has also come out openly against Telangana ... There is complete absence of governance in the State where even the bureaucracy and police look divided. Under such circumstances law and order situation in the State could be compromised,” the official added.

The Times of India reports on October 7 that Manipur Police are verifying an intelligence report that said at least 20 Manipuri Muslims recently left the State to train under al-Qaida. However, it is not clear which country they have gone to. The youths belong to Imphal East, Thoubal and Chandel Districts. Manipur director general of police, M K Das said the intelligence report is yet to be officially verified and that the security forces have so far not found any concrete evidence of the presence of any al-Qaida operatives in the State. However, the Police have been on a sharp vigil since they received the report, he added. "We will take all-out action once the intelligence inputs are corroborated," the State Police chief said. The DGP said the recent arrest of two Saudi Arabian nationals from Tengnoupal in Chandel District by the Assam Rifles and the subsequent probe conducted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to ascertain whether they have links with al-Qaida is a development that could help verify the intelligence inputs. Assam Rifles soldiers, who are guarding the porous India-Myanmar border along the Manipur sector, nabbed two Saudi Arabia nationals from Chandel when they were travelling in a taxi towards the border town of Moreh in June this year, a source said. The two did not possess any valid documents like visas and passports at the time of their arrest, the source said, adding that they are lodged in jail in Imphal. Though the duo claimed that they were visiting Manipur to do research work on Islamic culture, they could not speak Arabic properly, added the source.

Al-Umma operatives Fakrudeen and Bilal Malik, who are now in Crime Branch- Crime Investigation Department (CB-CID) custody, during their interrogation by owning up murders of two more BJP leaders in the Tamil Nadu for which other people had been arrested earlier, Police sources said, reported The Times of India on October 9. According to Police, the two extremists along with their accomplice Panna Ismail, who is in hospital after receiving a bullet injury in the police operation at Puttur in Andhra Pradesh on October 5, 2013, are involved in the murders of former BJP state General Secretary V Ramesh in Salem and Hindu Munnani leader S Vellaiyappan in Vellore in July 2013. They are also accused of planting a pipe bomb on BJP leader LK Advani's yatra route near Madurai in 2011. But the 'voluntary disclosures' of Fakrudeen and Malik that they along with Ismail had killed BJP medical wing secretary V Arvind Reddy in Vellore on October 23, 2012 and former BJP councillor P Murugan in Paramakudi on March 19, 2013 have put the police top brass in a difficult situation. With doubts arising as to whether the Police officers who investigated the cases had bungled under pressure, they are exploring the option of handing over both the cases also to CB-CID.

With doubts arising as to whether the Police officers who investigated the cases had bungled under pressure, they are exploring the option of handing over both the cases also to CB-CID. A senior official said, "We don't want to jump into any conclusion based on the confession of the two Al-Umma radicals. We need to corroborate their claims with other evidences. We also have to interrogate Ismail. It will take some time. Right now, the special investigation team is concentrating on probing the murders of Ramesh and Vellaiyappan". Police, who were initially clueless about Reddy's killers, arrested six people including 'Vasool' Raja, a history sheeter, on November 22, 2012. Citing the arrest of non-Muslims, police also refuted the charge that there was a communal angle to the murder.

Meanwhile, the Ranjan Daimary faction of the National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB-RD) has submitted the list of its cadres to the Government to pave the way for signing of the formal cease-fire agreement, reports The Assam Tribune. However, the SFs are not yet ready to accept the list of weapons submitted by the outfit. Highly placed police sources told The Assam Tribune that the NDFB (RD) has submitted a list of 410 cadres with their addresses and the process of verification of it is now on. So far, around 90 per cent of the verification process has been completed. NDFB-RD has submitted a list of around 60 weapons, but according to information available with the Police and SFs, the total number of weapons with the outfit should be much more. “According to our information, the outfit has at least 300 weapons, but it has submitted a list of only around 60. We are discussing the issue with the leaders of the outfit and they are claiming that as the Pro-Talks faction of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-PTF) submitted only 24 weapons, there was no reason for the Government to disbelief the NDFB-RD’s claim on the number of weapons,” sources added.

The Army on October 8 called off the 15-day-long military operation along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Keran Sector of Kupwara District, reports Daily Excelsior. The operation was started after 30 to 40 terrorists had tried to infiltrate from multiple points on the LoC in Keran Sector on the night of September 24. General Officer Commanding (GOC) Northern Army command, Lt General Sanjiv Chachra said, “I have now given the direction to call off concerted search but our counter-insurgency deployment is being strengthened. We are now going to launch operations which are intelligence based, which are surveillance based so that we can eliminate and meet the challenges.” The Army Commander said that there were desperate infiltration attempts at multiple points in Keran sector and Army knew it and planned operations accordingly. “There was a desperate attempt of infiltration in Keran sector during 10 to 14 days at multiple points. We had very specific intelligence of their operation. We knew they were coming and we were prepared for it. Some of these infiltration attempts have been eliminated and some of them have been foiled. We had eight terrorists killed and 59 major weapons including 18 AK Rifles and war like stores recovered”, added the Northern Army chief. On the Army reports that 15 militants were killed in Shala Bhatu area of Keran Sector, the GOC said: “The initial bid at 4-5 points was made by 30-40 infiltrators. We have seen them. Some of them have fallen. Some of them might have been dragged back and some of them have been used in operations in neighbouring areas.” To a question about the involvement of the Pakistan army in abetting the militants in infiltrating into Kashmir valley, the Army Commander said that without their involvement infiltration can’t happen. “They have tacit approval of the Pakistani army. The infiltrating militants have always received the tacit support of the Pakistan army establishment. We are almost on eyeball-to-eyeball and we can see each other. At such a point of time, a large group of terrorists infiltrating … you mean to say that this is happening without the complicity of Pakistan Army? This is ridiculous,” he said. The Lt General said that most of the arms recovered from the scene of operation have Pakistan marking.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has cells dedicated to reaching out to the masses through media, reports The Times of India. The media cells, which Maoists call press units, visit the local organisational squads (LOS) and dalams (armed squads) in forested regions to gather information. They are usually led by a regional level spokesperson. These details were revealed during the interrogation of an arrested cadre in Vidarbha. Maoists, like any other socio-political outfit, ensure that the masses remain updated about their movements, agenda, military exploits, heroism and sacrifices through press releases meant for popular media and also their own publications. It is also learnt that Milind Teltumbde, secretary of Maharashtra State Rajya Committee, operating in North Gadchiroli-Gondia Balaghat division, pens the outfit's press release in Marathi under the pseudonym 'Sahyadri'. Senior cadre Gopi too releases press notes for the outfit. Sriniwas, whose actual name is Aitu, releases press notes for Western regional committee of South Gadchiroli division, which is part of the Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee (DKSZC). Gudsa Usendi acts as spokesperson for DKSZC. An official of Rajnandgaon police in Chhattisgarh said that their raid on a Naxal camp suggested how the rebels have been printing literature, including press releases, in the jungles. "We had nearly got Teltumbde at a Naxal camp site on Maharashtra-Chhattisgarh border, where they were preparing some press releases. We recovered portable printers, scanners, laptops, batteries, pen drives and a lot of printed material. It was almost a small printing press," said a senior official.

The Sangai Express reports on October 8 that the Coordination Committee (CorCom), a committee of valley based six militant groups of Manipur and the National Liberation Front of Twipra (NLFT) have jointly called an 18 hour general strike in Manipur and Twipra (Tripura) with effect from October 14 midnight till 6 pm of October 15 in protest against the ‘forceful merger agreements’ which came into effect from October 15, 1949 by which Manipur and Tripura was merged into the Indian Union. A joint statement issued by CorCom and NLFT reminded that new Nations arose in Southeast Asia after World War II as colonial empires collapsed eventually. However, the newly independent India, after mastering all the art and tactics of expansionism and colonialism during the long 300 years of British occupation, embarked on a renewed process of colonizing smaller countries located in its neighbourhood; and it was under this policy that Manipur and Twipra (Tripura) were annexed to the Indian Union.

Al-Umma operatives Fakrudeen and Bilal Malik, who are now in Crime Branch- Crime Investigation Department (CB-CID) custody, during their interrogation by owning up murders of two more BJP leaders in the Tamil Nadu for which other people had been arrested earlier, Police sources said, reported The Times of India on October 9. According to Police, the two extremists along with their accomplice Panna Ismail, who is in hospital after receiving a bullet injury in the police operation at Puttur in Andhra Pradesh on October 5, 2013, are involved in the murders of former BJP state General Secretary V Ramesh in Salem and Hindu Munnani leader S Vellaiyappan in Vellore in July 2013. They are also accused of planting a pipe bomb on BJP leader LK Advani's yatra route near Madurai in 2011. But the 'voluntary disclosures' of Fakrudeen and Malik that they along with Ismail had killed BJP medical wing secretary V Arvind Reddy in Vellore on October 23, 2012 and former BJP councillor P Murugan in Paramakudi on March 19, 2013 have put the police top brass in a difficult situation. With doubts arising as to whether the Police officers who investigated the cases had bungled under pressure, they are exploring the option of handing over both the cases also to CB-CID. A senior official said, "We don't want to jump into any conclusion based on the confession of the two Al-Umma radicals. We need to corroborate their claims with other evidences. We also have to interrogate Ismail. It will take some time. Right now, the special investigation team is concentrating on probing the murders of Ramesh and Vellaiyappan". Police, who were initially clueless about Reddy's killers, arrested six people including 'Vasool' Raja, a history sheeter, on November 22, 2012. Citing the arrest of non-Muslims, police also refuted the charge that there was a communal angle to the murder.

From having excess funds at the peak of their movement during 2001-03, the North Telangana region has become a place of miniscule collection point for the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), even as the Centre remains apprehensive about the Maoists becoming more powerful, reports The Times of India. According to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) documents, North Telangana Special Zonal Committee (NTSZC) had an expenditure of INR 44,251,256 between 2001-2003, while the income generated was INR 62,048,500. NTSZC, is a special area committee Maoists formed like Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee, West Bengal State Committee and others to decentralize. "They had a surplus budget with an excess of Rs 1,79,27,926 besides 562 gold biscuits valuing lakhs of rupees," a document said. The data is from a paper the MHA had commissioned to external researchers, who have been closely studying the Maoist movement. But a senior Delhi-based researcher monitoring the movement for more than a decade, insisting anonymity, said: "...Right now, their annual collection is miniscule. It barely comes up to Rs 5-crore [INR 50 million, and there seems to be no excess budget." The researcher allayed apprehensions about a possibility of a stronger Maoist group in the region. "As long as political parties do not have unholy alliances with the Maoists, effective policing should not be a problem, as the security agencies already have domain knowledge required for operations to curb the rise of Maoists." The document points out to a well-conceived and efficient system, which allows Maoist cadres across the country to collect over INR 1.40 billion annually. It added they have a meticulous system of accounting, and are very good at book-keeping.

Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative Asadullah Akhtar alias Haddi, who was arrested on August 28, 2013, has recounted chilling details of the July 13, 2011, blasts, when he and three others bombed Mumbai, killing 26 people, reported DNA India on October 10.

For a week, they carried recce of various spots, finalising on four to plant bombs: Zaveri Bazaar, Opera House, Kabutarkhana and a flower market outside the Dadar railway station. “These places were chosen because they are heavily crowded in the evening and will result in maximum loss of life,” said an unnamed Policeman.

Three pressure cookers were filled with a gel of ammonium nitrate and fitted with detonators and watch timers. The fourth was filled with dry granules of ammonium nitrate and fitted with a detonator and a watch timer. The bombs were packed in plastic sheets and put in handbags.

Meanwhile, Army Chief General Bikram Singh on October 9 said, "For peace to return to this region, which is imperative, the Pakistani army has to be made accountable. They (Pakistani army-ISI) must desist from supporting terrorists, who are double-edged weapons and could well inflict serious injuries on them", reports The Times of India. "we have a lot of information" about Pakistani army's support to the 42 terror-training camps still operational across the border, a day after he directly blamed the General Pervez Kayani-led force for the surge in infiltration bids and ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LoC) this year. For long, everybody has been talking about peace and normalcy returning to J&K, with various parameters being quoted. This (the surge) is an attempt by the Pakistani army-ISI to vitiate the environment in the Kashmir Valley," added Gen Singh. The number of ceasefire violations has already crossed over 165 this year, the highest recorded over the last decade. As many as 105 of them have taken place just since August, barely a couple of months after Sharif took over as the PM, leading many to observe the Pakistani army- Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) combine is reasserting its pivotal role on the Kashmir front. Gen Singh said India will have to "wait-and-watch" how the situation unfolds in Afghanistan after next year's drawdown of US-led coalition forces from there. "We will have to be vigilant about any fallout that may be detrimental to us," he said.

Taking advantage of curtailed Police movement during rainy season, the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Gadchiroli District have been quietly rebuilding their bases shaken by intensive combat and peace operations by the Police, reports The Indian Express on October 11. Sources said that the Maoists have been holding big meetings in villages in areas where they had faced severe setback due to aggressive combat, patrol and outreach activities by the Gadchiroli police. The villages include Lenguda, Halewara, Kotmi, Ankepalli, Vedampalli, Nelgonda, Repanpalli, Bhatpaar, Jounde, Middapalli, Kothi, Aldandi, Punnur, Gadder and Chokenada, among others. Normally, the rainy season is when the Maoists strengthen their organisation. While this time they were up against a determined police force, rains were so heavy that the police had to curtail their operations. “The Naxals apparently decided to brave the rain and scale up their village visits. They managed to visit a lot of villages, even staying for two days at a stretch at some without encountering any problem,” sources said. At Lenguda in Kasansur area, Maoists reportedly stayed for two days. However the police couldn’t go deep enough to check the Maoists. The aim of Maoists was on visiting the villages that police had covered under Operation Nav Jeevan - where they met villagers, heard their problems and helped them with their needs. Superintendent of Police (SP) Suvez Haq, said: “Their movements are restricted too.”

"Dinesh Patel did not have an anti-people track record. We realized that out PLGA command, which led the operation, had acted in haste", he added. "Even PCC chief Nand Kumar Patel should not have been targeted. Though as home minister in undivided Madhya Pradesh, he had played a role against adopting repressive measures against the Maoists, for the last ten years Patel, in his personal capacity, had never worked against the Naxalite movement", Ramanna said. "We also felt that the decision to kill him was not proper as he had raised his voice against the massacre by security forces at Sarkeguda and Edesmatta", he added.

The source pointed out that AR did not follow the prescribed CFGR which required either side-AR or NSCN-IMto consult each other before opening any new outpost or camp.

A threat analysis carried out by security agencies on the basis of details provided by arrested ‘India operation chief’ of Indian Mujahideen (IM) Yasin Bhatkal and his aide Akhtar Asadullah, revealed that IM has become stronger and more lethal despite the arrest of over 100 of its cadres, Financial Express reports on October 17. The group has branched out to Pakistan and Afghanistan, where its cadres are fighting alongside the Taliban. There are now three factions of the IM and Amir Reza Khan alias ‘Rizwan’ is no more its chief. He has set up another group and continues to enjoy the patronage of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). “Our initial assessment was that the group has weakened with arrest of so many cadres and there is division. But the IM, considered a creation of the fugitive Amir Reza Khan, has grown many folds. Each group has its men and logistics in India,” a counter-terror official said. The IM structure changed after the 2008 Batla House encounter and Riyaz Bhatkal and his brother Iqbal Bhatkal began calling the shots as they shifted to Pakistan, said officials. This is believed to have caused an acrimonious spat between Riyaz and Amir, who decided to go his separate way. Another top IM operative Shahnawaz, a Unani doctor and brother of Mohammad Saif is now a lieutenant of Amir. Saif was arrested during the Batla House encounter. The third faction of the IM is headed by Mohammadd Sajid alias Bada Sajid and Mirza Shadab Baig, and reportedly fought in Afghanistan against the US forces.

The intelligence report says only a strong counter-infiltration and counter-terrorist grid in place across J&K has prevented increased attacks in the interiors of the state. Intelligence agencies have also shared details of some of the major camps across the border that house and train terrorists. The report says that there are about 450 to 500 terrorists waiting north of the Pir Panjal range of mountains to attempt crossing over into the Kashmir valley in camps in Sonar/Sardar, right opposite Machil/Gurez on the Indian side, in Kel opposite Machil, the Neelam Valley opposite Keran and in the Lipa Valley opposite India's Tangdhar. The report says about 150 to 200 more terrorists are at camps south of the Pir Panjal range in the area that faces India's Jammu division, opposite areas like Poonch and Krishna Ghati.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres on October 17 detonated a cane bomb - a trademark Improvised Explosive Device (IED) used by them - to blow up a vehicle, killing all its seven occupants near Pathara village in Aurangabad District, reports The Times of India. The victims included Sushil Pandey, suspected Ranvir Sena (Militia of upper caste landowners) activist and husband of Zilla Parishad (district level local self-Government institution) member Usha Devi. The Maoists targeted the vehicle when Pandey was on way to his village Pisai. The Maoists suspected Pandey's hand in the killing of their cadres in the Magadh region (Bihar) by the Sena. The attack comes barely a week after the Patna High Court (HC) acquitted all the accused in the Laxmanpur Bathe (Arwal District) massacre case for lack of evidence. Maoists hold Ranvir Sena responsible for the Laxmanpur Bathe massacre that claimed the lives of 58 dalits on the night of December 1, 1997. State Principal Secretary, Home Affairs, Amir Subhani said as per initial reports, six persons including Pandey, were killed in the incident.

Impressed by Bihar Police’s approach of hitting the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leaders financially by confiscating their property under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), the Central Government has decided to adopt it, reports The Hindustan Times on October 20. The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) has issued directions to the Chief Secretaries and Director Generals of Police (DGP) in Naxal-[Left-Wing Extremism (LWE)]-affected states to start implementing the UAPA on Maoists. The affected states have been asked to gather information about movable, immovable assets of Maoist leaders and confiscate them if they are proceeds of terror activities, or are being used to fund such activities. “Bihar CM Nitish Kumar had proposed this at a meeting of LWE-affected states chaired by the Home Minister a few months ago. We found out that the top Naxal leaders were amassing much wealth. We started using UAPA provisions to attach and confiscate it in May 2012. It was speeded up this year,” said Bihar State DGP Abhayanand.

Indian Mujahideen (IM) is now trying to grow up as a terror network like al Qaeda, keeping a close liaison with Pakistan based Qaeda network of Tehreek-e-Taliban, admits arrested IM ‘India operation chief’ Yasin Bhatkal, during his recent interrogations by different intelligence agencies, The Times of India reports on October 21. Yasin Bhatkal claimed that their ultimate mission is to uphold Shariah in India like the Mujahideen in Afghanistan and Somalia. In both countries Islamic terror networks are believed to be a part of Al-Qaida. Yasin has to say that they keep a tactical understanding with Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) for logistic support. Yasin's interrogation also unearthed that more than half a dozen IM recruits from north India were killed in Afghanistan who went there to fight for the Taliban. During recent interrogation by different state agencies and National Investigation Agency (NIA), Yasin revealed how the entire organization split into two factions: Azamgarh and Bhatkal following the debacle of Batla house encounter in 2008. "Batla house encounter forced most of the IM operatives to flee from the country and they were supposed to take refuge in Nepal. At that time most senior IM leader and one of the founders Amir Reza Khan was responsible to provide proper logistic support to IM operatives in Nepal, what he did not execute, alleged Yasin," said an investigator.

Chief Minister (CM) Omar Abdullah on October 21 said that India can’t tolerate the ceasefire violations by Pakistan and has to respond with force if they continue firing along the Line of Control (LoC) and IB, reports Daily Excelsior. While addressing Policemen at Zeewan Headquarters of the Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Armed Police on the Police Commemoration Day, the Chief Minister said that Prime Ministers of the two countries discussed the issue of the ceasefire violations at New York recently and despite that Pakistan is violating it. “I fail to understand whether the Pakistan Prime Minister has a hand in it or he is not in control of the situation there”, he added. Omar said: “…this cannot be a one sided affair. It cannot be a situation where we are at the receiving end and no response is given. I think our Prime Minister was very forthright in putting across India’s concerns in New York. A mechanism had been worked out whereby the Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMO) of both countries would meet to discuss cooling of the LoC and IB.”

Ferenga said the Bodos condemn the killing of the innocent Bodo youth and will not tolerate such atrocities. "We have given 10 days to the Centre to take necessary action against the culprits and pay INR 1 million as compensation to the bereaved family members of Raja Basumatary.

India and Russia on October 21 said states abetting terrorism were as guilty as terrorist organizations, reports The Times of India. The joint statement issued after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that "states that provide aid, abetment and shelter for such terrorist activities are themselves as guilty as the actual perpetrators of terrorism". In a clear reference to Pakistan, the statement said states supporting terror "need to irreversibly shut down terrorist networks, organizations and infrastructure, and show tangible movement in investigating and bringing quickly to justice those responsible for acts of terrorism". In his statement after the meeting, Putin said, "We will do everything to combat terrorism and punish criminals." And Singh reciprocated, saying, "We share perceptions on a peaceful transition in Afghanistan." India and Russia also made it apparent that they were acutely conscious of Afghanistan's security scenario in the context of the "expected drawdown of international forces in 2014, in order to combat terrorism" and very vehemently ruled out a likely role for Taliban. "The sides considered it necessary extend the sanctions regime introduced by the UN Security Council against Taliban as one of the most important tools of fighting terrorism," the joint statement said.

In 133 cases, the terrorists were made to "return" to Pakistan territory, while they successfully crossed over in 84 cases. The corresponding cases of "returned" infiltrators were 130 (2012) and 159 (2011). Successful infiltration attempts were lower at 84 until September 30, as compared to 112 cases in the corresponding period of 2012 and 52 (2011).

In another incident, goons attacked some daily labourers of a rubber garden at Bhalukdubi while they were at work. ‘Secretary’ of AANTSU, Altaf Hussain, said, “We have no objections against the council elections but we can never support the polls if the non-tribal villages are not removed from the Rabha Hasong area. If the villages are not deleted then the non-tribals will live as second-class citizens in the Rabha Hasong Autonomous Council, which we can never tolerate. Moreover, in some villages of the council, non-tribal citizens have been denied the right to vote. Therefore, we will go to any length to stop the council election ”.

Reacting to a query, he admitted presence of a few overground workers and linkmen of the outfit in the District and said that Police were keeping a tab on all the HNLC cadres, who are out of jail on bail, so that “they do not indulge in any anti-social activity.” The militant outfit, which operates from across the border (Bangladesh), has now become very active on the social networking site “Facebook” through which it disseminates various information and announcements. “We are working on to track the location from where the outfit disseminates information,” Kharkrang said.

India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on October 26 said that "99 per cent" evidence of the 26/11 (November 26, 2008) Mumbai (Maharashtra) terror attack case was available in Pakistan, reports Indian Express. The evidence is already with Islamabad, said the MEA, in response to the Pakistan Foreign Office's statement that Pakistan requires more evidence in the Mumbai terror attacks case. Five "crucial" documents running more than 500 pages were handed over on October 15, 2013 to the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi by the Indian Government. These documents are essentially "authenticated copies of the deposition and cross-examination before the Pakistan judicial commission, which came to India in September. They are the latest tranche of documents to be handed over to the Pakistan government, and are, what sources say, "substantive and clinching evidence". Documents submitted included: Proceedings of the Judicial Commission before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (60 pages including index); True copy of the judgment delivered by the Supreme Court of India (197 pages); Deposition by the doctors and the chief investigating officer for the prosecution, dated 15 December 2009; Summons to witnesses (24 September, 2013) and Application for producing the recovered articles from the terrorist by Azhar Chaudhry, Senior Special Public Prosecutor from Pakistan, before P Y Ladkar, Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (24 September, 2013). MEA spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said, "The entire planning of the dastardly Mumbai terrorist attack was hatched in Pakistan, the training of the terrorists who launched that attack was undertaken in Pakistan, the financing of the conspiracy was in Pakistan. It, therefore, follows that 99 per cent of the evidence will be available in Pakistan."

The Times of India reports on October 27 that two students' organizations in Mizoram - the Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP) and the Mizo Students Union (MSU) protested against a special registration drive being conducted exclusively at Bru relief camps in Tripura to enlist those left out from the Mizoram voters' lists. In a letter to chief election commissioner (EC), V S Sampath and State chief electoral officer Ashwani Kumar, the MZP said the EC's instruction to order a special registration drive exclusively for the Brus was discriminatory. The student organization also expressed the fear that those Brus who had migrated to Tripura from Bangladesh and Assam and also some permanent residents of Tripura might be included in the electoral rolls. The MZP said the 1995 voters' list alone should be the basis for determination of bona fide residents of Mizoram as the Brus had migrated en masse to Tripura in 1997.

Meanwhile, Union Minister of State for Home Affairs R P N Singh said, "I can't say whether it was a terror attack or political conspiracy. Only after the investigation, we will be able to tell anything."

Four alleged operatives of the IM have been arrested, one of whom is in critical condition after being caught in a blast. "A suspected accused (who was) seriously injured in bomb explosion while fitting a timer at Patna railway junction died on late Sunday night," Patna Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Manu Maharaj said. During interrogation, they reportedly told the Police that they had staged the attack in retaliation for the Muzaffarnagar riots. They are also said to have named the IM module involved in the Bodh Gaya blasts. The names of the four detained are Imtiaz Ansari, Ainul, Akhtar and Kaleem. Ansari, a resident of Ranchi, was apprehended at the railway station just after the first two bombs went off. He was apparently planning to plant some more bombs but panicked when he saw the Police and bomb disposal squad. On being challenged, he tried to flee but was arrested.

"What if I called up someone one or contact who is already under the police radar?

Jharkhand Police sources on October 29 said Mohammed Imtiaz, who has been arrested for his alleged involvement in the blasts, has given the names of two more persons from the state reports Indian Express. Imtiaz had earlier provided three other names. "We are still verifying the information received. All I can say is that the two are from Jharkhand," said an officer involved in the investigation. One of the suspects has been identified as Haider, a resident of Aurangabad who was living in Ranchi since 2010. Akhtar, a resident of Samastipur who is wanted in several other bomb blast cases across the country, is reported to have got in touch with Imtiaz through Haider. Sources said Imtiaz, who worked as a preacher in Sithio village under Dhurwa Police station of Ranchi, mobilised the others from Ranchi. Imtiaz, who has been sent to seven-day police custody, reportedly told his interrogators that Haider had been asked to create a module in Naxal-dominated area of Aurangabad. The Jharkhand Police is reported to have received Intelligence inputs on Haider's "suspicious" activities. Haider is reported to have been among those who planted the bombs. Moreover, according to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Bihar Police sources, Tehseen Akhtar alias Monu, said to be an aide of arrested Indian Mujahideen (IM) leader Yasin Bhatkal and suspected to be the key conspirator, was told to get youth from places other than Bihar to broad base the module. Meanwhile, investigations into the Patna serial blasts have clearly revealed that the terrorist attack was a well-planned operation carried out by at least 18 IM operatives who were divided into three modules. Intelligence sources said, that Ranchi was the main centre where the conspiracy to target Narendra Modi’s Patna rally was hatched. The bombs were also assembled in Ranchi and then taken to Patna by members of the three modules. The entire operation was supervised by key IM operative Tehseen Akhtar alias Monu, and Waqas. Intelligence inputs and investigations reveal that IM terrorists wanted to carry out a “human bomb” attack at the crowded rally, but failed as this particular module lacked the expertise to put together such a sophisticated explosive. Therefore only low-intensity crude explosives were used in the serial bombings.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) operating in Junglemahal (West Bengal) have been told to go for a poll boycott in tribal dominated areas of West Bengal in the 2014 polls, reports The Indian Express on October 30. The decision is a deviation from the stand of Mallojula Koteswara Rao alias Kishenji, the former Maoist military chief. Before being killed in an encounter, Kishenji had propagated voting in the 2011 State Assembly polls and openly urged cadres to vote for the Trinamool Congress. Two years after Kishenji's death, the Maoists ‘central committee’ has issued a circular stating the Maoists "will give a vote-boycott call in Bengal and implement it with its full strength". Significantly, the Maoists had not given a poll boycott threat during the recently-concluded panchayat (local self government institutions) polls in West Bengal and three districts in Junglemahal that witnessed almost 85 per cent voter turn out.

Unidentified militants triggered an (IED) blast injuring five persons, including two students at Marwari Dharmashala in Imphal on October 29, reports The Sangai Express. The injured were identified as Abujam Arun (21), Raghunath Manto (35),and Shambhu Shaha (40), both from Sitamari District in Bihar, Kishan Chakraborty and Rajdweep Sharma. Superintendent of Police (SP) of Imphal West, K Jayenta said “We don’t think today’s explosion was a target on migrant workers. It could be connected with monetary demanded slapped by underground organizations on the business community in Dharamsala area, “There have been reports of hefty demands served on the traders in the area and the blast could be a warning to them to cough up the money soon, the SP said and added that the police, nevertheless, have begun a probe to ascertain the motive behind the blast.“With the militants relying on explosive devices we have also changed our operational strategy to check their subversive activities in the city area in view of the rising number of shoppers for the upcoming festivals including Kut, Ningol Chak-kouba and Diwali etc,” the SP said.

While the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) has decided not to allow the scheduled rally of the Action Committee Against Unabated Taxation (ACAUT) in Dimapur on October 31, the Dimapur Chamber of Commerce and Industries (DCCI) has asked all the business organisations in Dimapur to not only close their establishments on that day till the rally is over but also participate physically in it, reports The Sentinel. The NSCN-IM, in a statement on October 29 said that the organization has, following its joint council meeting at Hebron on October 28, decided to disallow the proposed rally on October 31 being organised by the so-called ‘banned’ ACAUT just to malign the national cause in the name of unspecified, unabated taxation. In this connection, it was decided to initiate further necessary steps or measures to obstruct such anti-national designs to murder the long struggle for the national cause, the statement added. The NSCN-IM meeting also reaffirmed the decisions of the joint council meeting held on October 8 to ban the newly floated Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) for its deliberate negation of the principle of the Naga Hoho and the aspirations of the Nagas.

It has been reported that inexperienced bomb-making hands that wrongly wired one of the Patna devices to the second's hand of the clock instead of the hour's not only saved many lives but also helped police nab one of the accused and crack the case within hours. Investigations said Tarique, the bomber injured in the incident, was trying to attach the timer to the bomb circuit in the toilet. However, instead of attaching the wire to the hour or minute hand of the clock, he attached it to the second hand giving the circuit only a minute to be completed. This led the bomb to explode almost immediately and also helped police nab his associate Imtiaz Ansari. "An examination of the bomb revealed that this is what must have happened to set off the bomb so quickly," said an official privy to investigation details.

On October 30, Defence Minister A. K. Antony's commented, "I am sure nothing can happen there (at the border) without the knowledge and tacit — or sometimes open — support of Pakistani armed forces”, reported Daily Excelsior. Holding that infiltration bids were steadily "increasing", with the "emboldened" terrorists being much-better "equipped and prepared" than ever before, Antony questioned Pakistan's "sincerity" in all its big talk about improving bilateral relations with India. "That is a question worrying us," he said. "We are watching all these new developments. Instead of preventing infiltration or trying to minimize the infiltration attempts, still there attempts are going on increasing. That means, these are going on with the support of elements across the border. But I am sure nothing has happened without the support and knowledge and tacit support of Pakistan army. It is a matter of concern to us," he further said. As per the government's assessment, the Pakistani Army-Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) combine is trying to push in as many terrorists into J&K as possible before the traditional infiltration routes can get snowed under with the onset of winter. "Apart from arms, the terrorists are coming equipped with fence-cutters, night-vision devices, GPS and compasses. The traditional infiltration routes north of the Pir Panjal range like Macchal, Gurez, Keran, and Nawgam are witnessing heightened activity," said an official.

Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is not in control of 'Kashmir Policy' which is decided by Pakistan's Army Chief General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani and the Corps Commanders, says an internal Indian Army assessment note, India Today reports on October 31.The note, however, does not give Nawaz Sharif a 'clean chit', saying there are no indications that the Pakistan Prime Minister has either directed or insisted that his Army mend its ways.The note says even though General Kayani has called terrorist organisations within Pakistan including the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariyat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM), its affiliates and splinter groups operating in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) as Pakistan's number one national security threat, the Pakistan Army and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) continue to train, arm, support and launch terrorist groups into India."The entire top leadership of several terrorist organizations in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) has been wiped out by successful operations of the army and J&K police in the past eight months. These include top district and division commanders of LeT, JeM and HM. The cadre and over ground workers (OGWs) are directionless and are facing a shortage of both weapons and ammunition. Before the 2014 state assembly and General elections, Pak army, ISI, Hafiz Saeed (LeT), Masud Azhar (JeM) and Syed Salahuddin (HM) in Pakistan want terrorist leadership to infiltrate and acquaint themselves with the lay of the land and the terrorist infrastructure. This is an important factor in the sudden spurt in infiltration before winter snow closes down the passes," says the note.

The Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) headed by the Cabinet Secretary has criticised the Bihar Police and central Security Forces (SFs) for not carrying out counter-intelligence operations against Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), reports The Indian Express on October 31. The JIC has said that the State was becoming "a bridge between Maoist movements in Nepal and India". The assessment was carried out a few months ago. "Of concern is not only the sharp rise in Security Forces causalities but also the fact that not a single Naxal cadre has been killed in any counter-intelligence operation as against five Maoists killed in the same period last year. The reason for worry for the government is the killing of 13 security personnel this year as compared to 1 last year. The number of Naxals arrested has also decreased to 174 from 428 last year. The recovery of weapons dropped to 47 from 151," the report said.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has described the 1643-kilometre-long India-Myanmar border, which facilitates cross-border movement of militants, illegal arms and drugs, as 'extremely porous.', reports Times of India on October 31. "The border (Indo-Myanmar) permits free movement regime up to 16 km across the border. This makes the International Border extremely porous. The border runs along hilly and inhospitable terrain which grossly lacks basic infrastructure and provides cover to the activities of various Indian Insurgent Groups (IIGs). The unfenced India-Myanmar border with free movement regime is thus being exploited by various Indian Insurgent Groups (IIGs)," said an MHA report. The MHA report added that Assam Rifles has been deployed for counter-insurgency and border guarding role on this stretch of the border. "Out of the sanctioned strength of 46 battalions, 31 are for counter-insurgency operations and 15 for border guarding role. At present, all 15 border guarding battalions are deployed along the Indo-Myanmar border. The companies are deployed on all routes of ingress/egress and are checking infiltration, smuggling of arms, ammunition, drugs and fake Indian currency notes," it said.

Further, arrested member of IM revealed during Police interrogation that deal was finalised for INR six million of which INR 1 milion were paid in advance and rest of the amount was to be paid after the execution of the plot. Meanwhile, it has been reported by The Times of India that IM’s Ranchi module was formed to assassinate Narendra Modi. In fact, IM operatives had given a code- 'Machhli 5'- to the plotters for the job, initial interrogation of arrested IM operative Imtiaz Ansari revealed. Ranchi city Superintendant of Police (SP) Manoj Ratan Chothe, who interrogated key suspect Imtiaz Ansari in Patna said, "Imtiaz was full of hatred against Modi for the 2002 Gujarat riots and the recent Muzaffarnagar riots. The IM used Muslim fundamentalists to prepare Imtiaz to avenge the riots." IM had provided high-intensity explosives (nitroglycerin and nitrocellulose and plastic test tubes) to six youths in Ranchi. "After preliminary preparations at Imtiaz's house, they boarded a Patna-bound bus with the explosives in their backpacks on the eve of Modi's 'Hunkar' rally.

In the interiors of Bastar, the Maoists have asked villagers not to walk on kutcha roads after October 31 as these would be heavily mined by Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) to harm security forces deployed for election, said a source. Before every election, the Maoists, who consider Parliament a pig sty, issue a poll-boycott call and threaten villagers with dire consequences if they dare to go out to vote. Security Forces suspect Maoists could use child soldiers in school uniforms and women to disrupt polls. While Maoists are likely to use IEDs extensively to attack security forces and poll parties, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) is gearing up to prevent possible attacks on helicopters.

The rally adopted a three-point resolution which includes: Naga public recognizes “One Government One Taxation” only and has decided to pay only one tax to one entity. This also means that as long as factionalism exists, the Naga public shall not pay tax; Naga public re-affirms its support for Naga movement and strongly urges the Government of India to settle the Indo-Naga imbroglio at the earliest; and Government of Nagaland should constitute a high powered committee within 15 days to study the whole gamut of unabated taxations and illegal collections involving the Naga Political Groups' (NPGs) and Government agencies/departments. The committee shall consist of at least five members headed by a retired judge of the Supreme Court or High Court with at least two members from ACAUT. The committee should submit its report within two months with its findings published in all the newspapers. In the event, the Government fails to constitute the committee within the said period, ACAUT will initiate further action in consultation with public.While Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khole Kitovi (NSCN-KK) was not “for or against” the ACAUT, NSCN-Isak Muivah (NSCN-IM) was against the rally.

State Director General of Police (DGP), C Balasubramaniam on October 31 stated that the separatist groups from India’s Northeast Regions have their camps in Bangladesh, though the Bangladeshi Security Forces’ have been cracking down on them, reports The Sentinel.Balasubramaniam told reporters, “At present, there are about 15–18 camps belonging to Tripura militants alone in various parts of Bangladesh, especially southeastern region of that country,” According to the police chief, these camps, mostly belonging to outlawed National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT), exist opposite to Tripura’s eleven Police Stations in eastern and northern region of the State. “There is no fresh recruitment by the militant outfits in the recent past. If the developmental processes are going on smoothly, terrorism would be washed out from the northeastern States,” he said. He said the militants of various separatist outfits go to the neighbouring country for training and come back to carry out violent activities in the region. “Taking advantage of the hilly terrain, thick forests and unfenced border, Northeast militants trained in the Bangladesh camps cross over into Indian Territory,” the DGP said.DGP also said that the general law and order situation of the State has improved significantly, and insurgency related incidents are down. DGP said, “Extremists are suffering a severe financial crunch. The lower–level cadres of the outfit are frustrated as they are not getting the due financial share and other facilities, forcing them to surrender to the security forces of Tripura.” The Shillong Times adds the DGP saying that The Tripura State Rifles (TSR) and Assam Rifles (AR) have created this second line of defence or resistance guarding Bangladesh border.
