The All Arunachal Pradesh Students' Union (AAPSU) cautioned the Arunachal Government to keep a strict vigil along the border and tighten its intelligence apparatus to avoid immigrants from neighbouring Bangladesh from coming to the state as a spillover effect of the violence as reported in various media, reports Times of India on August 1. AAPSU expressed its concern over the situation arising out of the Bodo-Muslims clashes that have rocked the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) areas in Assam. AAPSU statement said, "According to various media reports, the fallout of the violence, in a way, has been due to the presence of unaccounted illegal immigrants from neighbouring Bangladesh and, as such, this cannot be considered as an isolated case affecting only the BTC region."

Eastern Nagaland People’s Organization (ENPO) sought clarification from the State Government as to whether INR 30 billion allocated was an economic package meant for Eastern Nagaland areas or it was some other additional fund allocated to minimize development deficit, reports Nagaland Post. ENPO has earlier, rejected State Government offer of autonomous council, regional council and economic package in lieu of “Frontier Nagaland”. Earlier, on June 26 Nagaland got an allocation of INR 2,300 crore for the annual plan 2012-13 from the Central Government. Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio on June 26, following the allocation, said, “We have received a sanction of Rs 2, 000 crore for the state in the current annual plan and INR 300 crore exclusively for the backward Eastern Nagaland region. The Planning Commission also asked us to present a detailed five-year plan for the development of Eastern Nagaland.” An ENPO representation sent to the chief secretary signed by Thamlong and ‘vice president’ Sashi Naga also said that an inquiry by the organization has established that there were “no talks of economic package” as such during the recent meeting between Union Home Ministry and the State delegation led by Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio in Delhi. The organization has claimed that what the State Government called special package for Eastern Nagaland was just “additional central resource (special planning assistance)” allocated by Planning Commission of India especially for under-developed areas. The representation said that despite the rejection of various other offers including the economic package against the demand for “Frontier Nagaland”, the state government was issuing statements referring to the allocation as economic package for Eastern Nagaland.

Pro-Talks faction of National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-PTF) on August 3 criticized the Assam Government for its failure to protect the indigenous people and warned that NDFB-PTF will not allow any muslim immigrants from Bangladesh to live in tribal belt and blocks, reports Times of India. ‘General secretary’ of NDFB-PTF, Gobinda Basumatary cautioned that the violence between the indigenous people and muslim immigrants would be repeated if illegal immigrants were not pushed back after updating the National Register for Citizens (NRC), taking 1951 as base year, and deport them. Basumatary further said that 60 per cent of over 1 crore 88 lakh bighas of land in tribal belts and blocks have been illegally occupied by non-tribals, mostly by Bangladeshi nationals. Moreover, he said that over 95 per cent Muslims living in Amteka and Khwila Mwila areas of Indo- Bhutan border in Chirang District have no documents. The NDFB-PTF leader alleged that violence in Kokrajhar, Chirang and Dhubri Districts are instigated by the Government using illegal immigrants to weaken Bodo people. He alleged that muslim camps have better security arrangements. Basumatary also questioned as to why the Centre and Assam government are concerned only when there is conflict with muslims, but why they are not serious when the clashes take place between Bodos and Adivasis and Dimasa and Karbis.

Khole-Kitovi faction of Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-Khole-Kitovi) has cautioned all Nagas from every section of society that the ‘Alternative Arrangement’ on offer and endorsed by groups and individuals without assessing the “immediate and long term consequences and misfortunes staring at Naga people” will be “a seed of fresh conflict among Nagas” in the event “one single political group” and the government of India were to enter into a political agreement “on behalf of all Nagas”, reports Nagaland Post. In a statement, GPRN/NSCN through its MIP, reminded that the ‘Naga Concordant’ signed on August 26, 2011 by the signatories-- GPRN/NSCN (Khole-Kitovi), NSCN/GPRN-Isak-Muivah [NSCN-IM] and NNC/FGN [ Naga National Council/ Federal Government of Nagaland]-- resolved to form one ‘Naga National Government’ on the basis of historical and political rights. In view of the recent statements about the ‘Alternative Arrangement’, GPRN/NSCN asked if Delhi was aware of the Naga Concordant and whether NSCN (I-M) leaders Isak and Th. Muivah were aware of their signatures in the August 26, 2011 pledge. In addition, on the issue of ‘Alternative Arrangement’, NSCN-Khole-Kitovi expressed solidarity with Nagas of Manipur.

Ranjan Daimary faction of National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-RD) said that the Government should take a tough stand against illegal immigrants from Bangladesh and mere sealing of border and rehabilitation will not bring permanent solution. Assistant Publicity Secretary of the NDFB-RD, B Samijink said, “The Government should not make haste to rehabilitate the inmates of the refugee camps before checking the antecedents of the persons as we believe there are illegal migrants or citizens of different districts also,” he said adding, “Setting a deadline for rehabilitation will aggravate the situation rather than solving it.” Samijink further said that the NDFB-RD has failed to understand why the Government of Assam and India cannot set a deadline to the illegal migrants to leave the country. The NDFB-RD leader said, “Mere rehabilitation and sealing of Bangladesh border is not the permanent solution. The Government needs to address the root cause of the clash. For that, the foreigner issue must be solved permanently.” He also said the tribal land should be handed over to its owners, the sons of the soil, the native tribal people. The clashes started when founder president of All Bodoland Minority Students’ Union (ABMSU) , Mohibul Islam and former leader of All Assam Minority Students’ Union (AAMSU), Abdul Siddique Sheikh were seriously injured in the attack on July 19. In a retaliatory attack, a mob of people at Joypur under Kokrajhar Police Station lynched to death four former militants of disbanded Bodoland Liberation Tiger (BLT) - Pradip Bodo (32), Jonson Bodo (36), Nip Goyari (25) and Jamin Goyari (24) in the night of July 20.

the Intelligence Bureau (IB) has raised an alert against some groups in Assam, which, they believe, are being funded by other nations in order to keep the conflict festering to foster instability, reports Rediff.com. According to the IB, Anti-Talks faction of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-ATF), Ranjan Daimary faction of National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-RD), Karbi People's Liberation Tiger (KPLT), Muslim United Liberation Tiger of Assam (MULTA) and Harkat-ul-Mujahedeen (HuM) are the militant outfits still operating in the State. Further, IB believes that groups like the MULTA and HuM could be taking advantage of the situation. While the HuM has not been too active in Assam, the MULTA and its subsidiary United Muslim Nationalist Army (UMNA) could be fuelling further unrest. IB officials suspect that the United Muslim Nationalist Army (UMNA), an offshoot of the MULTA, triggered the recent spate of violence.

We have already conveyed this stand of the Council to the State government,” he said. The BTC was apprehensive regarding “outsiders” being brought in to the BTC areas during rehabilitation

Ranjan Daimary faction of National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-RD) on August 7 announced its withdrawal from the one-year-old unilateral ceasefire, reports Times of India. A statement signed by Myanmar-based IK Songbijit, the chief of the NDFB-RD's armed wing, said the decision to withdraw the unilateral declaration for cessation from all types of violence has been taken after "considering all aspects of present reality." Ranjan Daimary faction is the breakaway group of parent NDFB, which renamed itself as NDFB-Progressive/ Pro-Talks faction of NDFB (NDFB-PTF), after signing the bilateral truce with the Centre in 2005. The Sentinel, however, quoted Additional Director General of Police (Special Branch), Khagen Sarma, when asked to comment on this latest development, as saying, “The email statement has been issued by the pro-talk NDFB faction led by Govinda Basumatary and not the Ranjan Daimary faction, as was widely believed.”

In an e-mail statement, NDFB-PTF, ‘Deputy Information and Publicity Secretary’, B Borosa said that the entire incident was a pre-planned attack against the sons of the soil. Suspected Bangladeshi nationals as well as some government agents are involved in the incident, the outfit alleged. “The State Government has failed to control the situation. The Government’s failure to send reinforcements to the strife-torn areas even after five days was nothing but a ploy to give advantage to the illegal migrants to crush and finish the Bodo people,” alleged the outfit in the statement, adding that more damage befell on the ‘illegal migrants.’

Union Home Minister (UHM), Sushil Kumar Shinde, said the Central Government had given all help to Assam for handling the situation, reports The Hindu. “I have kept the Army on alert,” Shinde said. Detailing the sequence of the violent incidents, Shinde in Lok Sabha (Lower House) said tension was already simmering in the Bodo-dominated areas and the chain of events started after an attack by suspected Kamatapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) terrorists in which two members of the minority community were killed. He said 14 additional companies of the Central forces were deployed in the violence-affected districts. Their number would go up to 65 companies. UHM informed the House that 170 persons arrested so far and more than 300 cases had been registered. He said that a “comprehensive security plan” had been chalked out to control violence and speed up relief and rehabilitation of the victims and displaced persons. “As many as 104 police pickets have been proposed in vulnerable villages, of which 99 have been established. They have been given the responsibility of ensuring security for the affected villages,” UHM Shinde said.

a large amount of this money stashed away by GNLA in Bangladesh is used to purchase arms, reports The Telegraph. State (DGP) N. Ramachandran on August 9 said that Sohan D. Shira [GNLA-Commander-in-Chief] and others stash away money in the neighbouring country, thereby posing hurdles for the police to effectively bust the finance cells of the outfit. “There is no ideology on the part of the GNLA and their main activity is to collect as much money they can through extortion,” the DGP said. There is no welfare of Garos on the agenda of the GNLA, he added.DGP revealed that everyone in the outfit is engaged in collecting money and the juniors hold back a certain amount collected from people. Collection of money has become a private enterprise for the militants with some share going to Sohan, Ramachandran said. While a group of GNLA cadres collect money by way of ransom or through other means of extortion, a major portion of the amount goes to their pockets while only some part goes to Sohan, the DGP added.“To amass wealth there are some senior GNLA cadres who extort money in the name of another outfit, Liberation of Achik Elite Force”, the DGP said. With no dearth of money on the part of the GNLA, another worry for the police is the easy availability of arms from the thriving arms bazaar in Dimapur.

The ‘political secretary’ of GNLA, Bikdot Nikjang Marak, called up media houses from an undisclosed location in Bangladesh to inform of his outfit’s decision to go the extra mile provided the same is reciprocated by the Central Government. “We will end all armed struggle if Delhi listens to our peoples’ demand for a separate Garoland state under Article 3 of the Indian Constitution. We do not want a separate country but wish to remain within India,” said Bikdot. He said that Garos continue to live under the shadow of the Khasi who rule Meghalaya and there is a long-standing demand by people of this part of the state for a separate identity.

Chief Minister (CM) Tarun Gogoi on August 11 said there are illegal migrants from Bangladesh in the state and that influx from across the border is still on, though in lesser numbers, reports The Times of India. The CM, however, did not say how many illegal migrants are here in the State. CM Gogoi said that between 1996 and 2001, the then Illegal Migrants Determination by Tribunals (IM-DT) tribunals had declared 7,444 persons as "illegal migrants". Between 2002 and 2011, the courts declared 11,127 persons as "illegal migrants. Illegal migrants are here. The influx is also on and that is why I have been trying my level best to plug the holes in the border with Bangladesh. I have been seeking more border outposts and floodlights. We have managed to bring down influx, but we need to be more foolproof," said the Chief Minister. Gogoi added, "The bigger problem is that Bangladesh is not accepting the persons ordered to be deported by our tribunals. This is an issue under the Government of India." Every time State Police takes a declared illegal migrant to the border for deportation, the Border Guards Bangladesh refuses to accept them. In 2010, the State Government set up three detention camps to keep all "illegal migrants" since Bangladesh was not accepting them. In addition, Gogoi said that at present, there are more than 150 declared illegal migrants at detention camps in Goalpara, Kokrajhar and Silchar. Gogoi also pointed out the vanishing acts by some persons immediately after they are declared as illegal migrants by the tribunals. According to latest updated records with the State Government, between 1985 and 2010, 34,622 persons have vanished after tribunals declared them as illegal migrants. In addition, 1446 persons, who have been pushed back, are found to have returned to the state during the same period.

The incident took place when the Police followed the duo who were travelling in a vehicle from Tura to Rari village of Bajengdoba. The movement of the militants was revealed after one of the members identified as Roring Sangma alias Gud was arrested by Police in civilian clothes from Ringrey market of Tura on August 13. He was sent to Tura to purchase food items and make camouflage uniforms for the cadres of the outfit. He also confessed that the outfit had plans to abduct a businessman from Rari village. Based on his confession, police teams fanned out to different parts of Tura and managed to arrest Bilchang R Sangma alias Racheng of Rongrekgre village and Impu B Marak alias Bijoy Marak of Rongchandalgre village. Racheng was the ‘western commander’ of the militant group.

Assam Tribune reports that two people were injured in four bomb blasts in capital city of Imphal and Thoubal District on Independence Day on August 15. "There have been a series of blasts of grenades planted by insurgents in these places," Manipur Police chief Y. Joykumar Singh said. Though Singh said "no one was injured in the incident", other officials said two people were critically injured in the first blast at Mela Ground in Thoubal District town at around 8am. An hour later, a series of three blasts took place in Sagolband Salam Leikai, Telipati and Yasikul in Imphal. All the three explosions took place when Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh was delivering his Independence Day speech at the 1st Manipur Rifles' Parade Ground. Though no insurgent group has claimed responsibility for the blasts, Manipur Police and intelligence officials said the blasts were carried out by the Coordination Committee (CorCom) -- an umbrella group of seven major separatist outfits fighting for an independent Manipur. Security has been heightened in Manipur after the serial explosions. The CorCom and Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC), Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO), National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT), Tripura People's Democratic Front (TPDF) and United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) boycotted Independence Day celebrations in the northeastern region.

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has been asked to collect any information about the Maoists’ strategy to expand their base in the three states. “The intelligence agencies have informed us about at least four meetings held by Maoists in the past three months in Punjab alone. These meetings were held under the garb of addressing the issues of farmers and migrant labourers from Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal,” said a senior official. “We have information that at least 12 of the 22 districts in Punjab have a strong presence of Maoists. The meetings are being held by their front organisations which also include some NGOs,” said the official. The CRPF has been asked to share details about the Maoists with other states.

He said that the illegal migrants from Bangladesh are out to establish their supremacy in Assam's territory in order to play a decisive role in the politics, economy and social life of the State. Mrinal Hazarika warned the Government on the recent exodus of people from northeast from other parts of the country, by saying that the Government will be held responsible for similar attacks in Assam, if the Assamese people continue to be assaulted outside. Further, senior leader of the ULFA-PTF, Jiten Dutta, based in Tinsukia said that if the attacks on the people from Assam in various states of the country were not stopped immediately, the group would force all companies and firms of those states, operating in Assam, to shut down.

Times of India reports that amid the Okram Ibobi Singh Government's frequent calls to underground organizations for talks, the United Revolutionary Front (URF), a conglomerate of five different factions of the underground Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP), has started dialogue with the Government. Three rounds of initial tripartite meetings involving the Centre, State and the URF have already been held in Imphal. "Since March 23, three rounds of initial meetings involving us and representatives of the state and central government have taken place and the outcome was fruitful," said Lalheiba Meitei, the URF acting chairman and leader of KCP- Military Council (KCP-MC). Besides KCP-MC, the other constituent members of the front include Sunil Meitei faction of KCP Military Task Force (KCP-MTF), KCP-Chingkei Nganba faction, Lamyanba Khuman faction of KCP-MC and KCP-KK Nganba faction. Though formal political dialogue is yet to start, the URF cadres and leaders, numbering over 100, are currently putting up at a camp of 30 Assam Rifles at Khurkhul village in Imphal West District. URF's total cadre strength is 470 and most of them have been asked to turn up at the camp, Lalheiba said, while disclosing that two more KCP factions are likely to join the front. "Instead of holding ceasefire or suspension of operation with the government, our demand is to begin official tripartite political dialogue and we have a 31-point charter of demands to be put up during talks," said Lalheiba on August 17. "It would be premature to disclose our demands at this stage but some agendas are focused on formulating work culture and green revolution in Manipur," he said, while welcoming other groups to join the front and go together for dialogue. He added, "Once the formal political dialogue starts, the government would set up a designated camp for the front. Both the state and the Centre have agreed to some of our terms."

A confidential internal prepared by the Assam Police meant for internal circulation, states that junior Police Officers were unable and unwilling to take action when required, the seniors, too, were loath to take responsibility for the lapses, reports Times of India on August 21. The report further calls for deployment of more Police Personnel and says a large part of the problem lies in the pathetic manpower at their disposal. In Kokrajhar, State Police needs four new Police Stations and five additional outposts. There is also a plea for 40 prefabricated barracks for "platoon strength" and 10 for "company strength". Further, Police needs eight deputy SPs, 75 sub-inspectors, 150 male and 50 female constables. The police-population ratio stands at a measly 79 per 100,000 population. They also want 120 light motor vehicles, 75 medium and 15 heavy motor vehicles, and 100 motorbikes to cover an area that is 2,700 sq km of both plains and hills. The report gives a demographic break-up that shows Bodos at 3.10 lakh (30%) and Muslims at 2.36 lakh (25.15%).

The Shillong Times reports that the Breakaway faction of the Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC-B) has once again expressed its desire to come for negotiation with the Government over its long pending demand for a separate Garoland. In a letter submitted to the Chief Minister Mukul Sangma recently, the ANVC-B ‘chairman’ Rimpu Napak Marak sought a positive response from the State Government in this regard. “The group has avoided bloodshed and other illegal activities, thus cooperating with the request put forward by the government hoping for a negotiation. But the delay seems to be just another policy of disorienting the movement,” the letter stated. The outfit hinted that the Government’s policy of delaying the solution to the ‘Garoland issue’ gave rise to various ‘breakaway groups’ like Achik National Liberation Front (ANLF), Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) and others. “The delay is creating doubts on the intention of the Government,” the letter added.

Unidentified people shot dead two youths and one injury in fresh violence that broke out along the Kokrajhar-Dhubri border under Chapar Police Station on August 22, reports The Sentinel. The deceased were identified as Zabedul Islam and Rezzak Ali and the injured as Ismail Hussain. With this incident, the death toll in the ongoing violence between Bodos and Muslims has risen to 87.The clashes started on July 20.Hindustan Times adds that the village, 250 kilometer west of Guwahati and close to the Bangladesh border, is Muslim-dominated. “The cause of firing could even be internal economic rivalry. We are investigating all angles,” said LR Bishnoi, IGP (law and order). However, the attack followed a United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) warning against the Muslim settlers two days ago. The involvement of Bodo militant groups also cannot be ruled out. The report further states that around 30 families left villages in Dhubri District fearing post-Eid violence. With this, an estimated 1,500 people have taken refuge in West Bengal and Meghalaya.

Kanglaonline reports that out of the 115 terrorist organisations of Northeast (NE), there are many who have been fighting for a ‘homeland’, while there are many more who have been fuelling the fire from across the borders. Intelligence Bureau (IB) officials point out that they suspect that terrorist groups from Bangladesh funded by the Pakistan establishment are looking to strike. The intelligence that has been received so far is not pertaining to terror strikes. It clearly states that the infiltration which had come down a great deal is likely to go up and many outfits which were formed at the behest of Pakistan`s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) will be strengthened with the help of the local population who claim to be affected by the recent turn of events. The IB and the Police are however not tracking only those groups which enjoy patronage from outside. “We are also keeping a close watch on some groups within and do not want peace to be disturbed, as this will lead to more disturbances funded from across the border,” said an official.

They asked the Joint Legislature Forum (JLF) as on what basis they (JLF) approach the Centre for an early solution. Talking to Nagaland Post over phone August 25, NSCN-K kilonser (minister) Wangtin Konyak told JLF delegation that NSCN-K will not accept solution without “sovereignty of Nagas.” Wangtin said he also asked JLF as to whether they meant “NSCN (I-M) solution” or “Naga solution”, to which JLF clarified that they were for inclusive solution. He also pointed out that the “ongoing talks” were only between the Government of India and the NSCN-IM but that the latter had so far not spelt out the contents of its “charter of demands to Nagas and other political parties.”

Mumbai is India's capital for Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs), as reported on August 27, by The Times of India. Delhi, on the other hand, comes a close second in the number of FICNs seized, but ranks number one when one puts a value to those notes. In the last few years, the states of Maharashtra and Delhi have contributed to 30 per cent of all counterfeit bills detected in circulation. It is further revealed that Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal come next on the chart. Each year, the count of FICN netted by the Police and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) rises. In the first six months of 2011, about 2 million FICNs, making up over INR 100 million, were seized. In all of 2011, about 6 million FICNs, accounting for INR 260 million, were seized. RBI spokesperson Alpana Kilawala said FICN land up at the RBI from sources such as banks and individuals who come to exchange money. "But central banks all over the world try to stay ahead of forgers; introducing plastic notes is an effort in that direction." "The Bihar, UP and Kolkata routes are no longer used frequently. These have been replaced by Jharkhand. Peerpur village in Sahibganj district has emerged as a prime landing spot. It is 35km from the Bangladesh border," said a Police officer.

The crux of the issue was the ‘alternative arrangement’, on the nature of which the JLF appears to have failed to throw light to the outfit’s satisfaction.

Central Government has written to the State Government to expedite the processing of 2.37-lakh cases of illegal migration from Bangladesh pending in the 36 tribunals in the State, reports The Telegraph on August 30. The report further states that another 79,000 cases have been referred by Superintendents of Police (SP) of various Districts to the tribunals, but notices on these have not yet been sent to the individuals. Union Home Minister (UHM) Sushil Kumar Shinde on August 30 said that that he would visit the border areas soon after the Parliament session. “Illegal migration has to stop and we will ensure the borders are sealed. It is a matter of better management,” he said. The report also states that UMHA had sent a communication to Dispur on May 10, asking it to revive the tribunals as most of the cases of illegal migration were “pending for 20-25 years”. Three months later, on August 17, the Centre sent another communication to the Assam government asking it to “review” the working of tribunals and help them expedite the cases under the more stringent provisions of the Foreigners (Tribunal) Amendment Order, 2012.

In a pre-dawn operation launched by teams of Manipur Police at Lilong and Hatta Golapati areas as a precaution to prevent an outbreak of Assam-like violence in the State, a total of 43 foreign nationals, including 24 Bangladeshis and 19 Myanmarese, have been rounded up, reports The Sangai Express. According to Home Minister Gaikhangam, Manipur police personnel carried out the special drive from the wee hours of August 30 based on information about presence of large number of foreign nationals in these two Muslim dominated areas of Imphal East and Thoubal Districts. Director General of Police Yumnam Joykumar said that all 19 Myanmar nationals, including two women and three children, are from Arakan region of the neighbouring country. The Bangladeshis rounded up in the operation mostly hail from Latsahi, Nabganj, Chappai Nabganj and Rajek Districts of Bangladesh, informed the State Police chief. The crackdown on illegal migrants comes close on the heels of a fresh campaign by civil society groups for the implementation of the Inner Line Permit (ILP) system in Manipur, reports The Times of India. Many activists fear that Manipur might be swarmed by foreigners like Assam if the ILP is not introduced in the state. The ILP is an official travel document required for Indian citizens to travel into restricted areas. Currently, it is in force in Nagaland, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh. Kanglaonline adds that terming August 30 action against illegal migrants in the state as a successful operation, state Home Minister Gaikhangam said that operations will continue for detection of foreigners in the state.
