Additionally, sources in Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) stated that framework agreement between GoI and NSCN-IM only set the mutually agreed parameters under which the final agreement is being worked out for permanent political solution, reports Assam Tribune on December 7. UMHA sources asserted that the inter-state boundaries would not be touched while finalising the peace pact. The militant groups were also categorically told that the GoI would never change the inter-state boundaries, while the Union Home Minister himself informed the states having boundaries with Nagaland that none of the territories of any state would be affected. MHA sources also added that government wants to go for an inclusive solution involving all the stakeholders and if Khaplang faction of NSCN (NSCN-K) also joins the peace process it would have a lasting impact on insurgency in the Northeast as the other rebel groups of the region would find it hard to survive in Myanmar without the support of NSCN-K.

The training camps and hideouts of Indian insurgent groups in Bangladesh have been reduced to "almost zero", the Border Security Force (BSF) has said, thanking its Bangladeshi counterpart for its help, The Telegraph. "Whenever we have information about (infiltration by) insurgents from the northeastern states into Bangladesh, we share the information and immediate raids are undertaken (by Border Guard Bangladesh)," BSF Director-General K.K. Sharma said. "As a result, the number of training places and hideouts of these insurgents has been reduced to almost zero. I congratulate our counterparts."If some Indian militant camps still exist in Bangladesh, they are of a floating nature, Sharma said, indicating that all permanent camps have been destroyed. The two border forces have since 2015 been conducting simultaneous and coordinated patrols of the frontier to check crime and insurgency. "The numbers of these (militants) used to be 150-200 every time a list was handed over. That situation has now changed and the (insurgents) are now on the run, without being able to stay put at a place on the other side for long," the officer said.

Additionally, Assam was the State with second highest abduction rate in India after Delhi, with almost 17 people being kidnapped daily in the state as of 2016Times of India reported on December 27. According to the latest National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) statistics, Assam Police have registered some 6,126 cases of abduction and kidnapping. There were at least 4,824 kidnapping cases which jumped up to 5,831 in 2015. Over 90% of the victims were women. Out of the total 6,126 cases, in about 5,342 cases the victims were women or minor girls. Earlier, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Chandra Mohan Patowary had informed the state secretariat that between 2001 and May 2016, some 46,461 cases of kidnapping were registered in the state. Though abductions by militant groups have declined, a constant increase has been witnessed in abductions for ransom by criminal gangs, including former militants. Sources said the actual number might be even higher as not all abductions were reported to the police because of a lack of confidence in the administration. Though the State has registered high numbers of abduction cases, the recovery rate was found to be very low. Last year, the recovery rate of victims of kidnapping cases in the State was recorded at as low as 1.3% only. Records states that a total of 13,413 persons abducted in 2015 were yet to be traced. By the end of last year, the State Police had received reports of 19,541 persons going missing, out of which only 249 people were rescued during 2016.

Faced with financial crunch, militant outfit has been trying to recover from their losses by indulging in mass extortion, targeting the business community and tea planters, especially in Upper Assam districts, taking advantage of their close proximity with Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland.
