There are at least 3,500 Meitei militants in different camps across Kachin, Sagaing and Chin areas of Myanmar. India is trying to help the newly democratised Myanmar regime to co-operate on the ground with its forces. “The cadre strength of Meitei groups will be reduced to one-third by Myanmar,” a Government source said. This would be affected through the NSCK, led by S.S. Khaplang, who mentored several Meitei groups from Manipur for many years without much opposition from the State. However, a day before Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s visit to Yangon and Naypyidaw on May 28, the Myanmar Government directed Khaplang to ask Manipur-based groups to get out of the country by June 10.

State Director General of Police (DGP) J.N. Choudhury while talking to The Sentinel on July 9 stated that Left-wing extremism is increasing in different areas of Assam and about 200 Maoist cadres are working jointly with the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) linkmen and other local rebel groups to spread their tentacles in the State. “It’s a strategy of the Maoist groups in Assam. They are taking the help of the local militant groups to know the region in a better way,” said Choudhury, adding, “Aditya Bora, a Maoist leader, is presently leading the Maoist operation in upper Assam.” He said the Maoists were targeting the people in the rural areas and brainwashing them. “The Maoist groups everywhere in the country target the villagers and incite them to go against the government. These groups take the advantage of the backwardness of the area and the poor condition of the people living in such area,” added the DGP. DGP further said that Maoists are running a cell in Guwahati for facilitating transit of their top leaders from other parts of the country to Assam or vice-versa. “Chandan Barman, a Maoist who was arrested recently in Guwahati, admitted that he helps in the transit of Maoist leaders in the State,” he said.

The people of Barak Valley have strongly protested against the proposal to carve out 26 villages of Cachar District and add them to the proposed Dimaraji Territorial Council (DTC), reports The Times of India. A senior leader of the Cachar Bibhajan-Birodhi Manch, an organization that is fighting any attempt to divide Cachar District, said, "We have come to understand that at least 19 of the Cachar district villages proposed to be included in the DTC have only six per cent Dimasa population.” "We can't allow such a move to materialize. We will not allow the government to give away villages with a small Dimasa population to the Dimasa council area," he said.

Train services were disrupted in the morning of July 12 after the Non-Bodo Suraksha Samiti staged a rail blockade at Baihata station under Rangiya sub-division of Kamrup District to protest against the demand for a separate Bodoland, among others. The Samiti submitted a memorandum to Governor J.B. Patnaik, through the local administration, that voiced their opposition to the alleged move to bifurcate Assam and sought the removal of villages with over 51 per cent non-Bodo population from the Bodoland Territorial Areas District (BTAD). It also wanted withdrawal of Sixth Schedule status accorded to the BTAD because it is located in the plains and not in the hills as “mandated” in the Constitution. Khorsan Ali, vice-president of the Samiti, said they had no option but to hit the streets because the non-Bodos had been deprived of all basic Government facilities, were victims of extortion and slowly but steadily Assamese was being replaced by Bodo language. “Under the prevailing circumstances, it is difficult to live in BTAD areas. Therefore, we should be excluded from it,” he said.

We also asked if there is space at the site to accommodate security personnel,” Chetry said. “It is true that we cannot provide security at all the construction sites.

The SP claimed that the arms belonged to Maoists, as there were intelligence reports of arms being stocked by the Left-wing militants in the area. He said search operations were on, with no arrests made so far. Police sources said the recovery was the outcome of tight vigil and interrogation of arrested Maoist militants and sympathisers across the State. The recovery comes just two months after four Maoist cadres, including a senior leader, were killed in an encounter with the Police in Sadiya. Sources said Maoists, with the help from other banned outfits of the northeastern region, were trying to build a strong base along the Assam-Arunachal border.

Their illegal activities are not condoned by the KNO. The KNO is taking appropriate measures to prevent KNLF from operating in any of its operational areas under the circumstances,” said a KNO statement issued to the press. “It is important that no Government of Manipur officials get influence by claims of KNLF that they are carrying out their nefarious activities with the permission of KNO. Any effort by government official to act against members of KNO on the basis of KNLF false claims would be contrary to the spirit of SoO,” it added.

National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) on July 23 claimed that NSCN-Khole-Kitovi’s demand for settlement within the confines of present Nagaland State was no Naga national issue but a mere rehabilitation “for desperate goons and criminals attempting to sabotage and betray the historical and political legacies of the Nagas that has been paid in blood and tears.” Asserting when the two “mighty nations”, India and Myanmar, have acknowledged the genuineness of Naga issue as political issue, NSCN-K, in a statement, said it was a “complete mockery” that NSCN-Khole-Kitovi validated 16-point memorandum “which forcefully dissected Nagas into splinters.” Naga political issue, NSCN-K said was above any groups or territorial demarcation, adding that the issue encompassed “every ancestral Naga territory spread across India and Myanmar.”

Tripura Government has finalise a new strategy for combating insurgency in the run-up to the 2013 Assembly poll, reports The Telegraph. A meeting of the state-level co-ordination committee was held on July 23 in the State secretariat which discussed reports received from intelligence sources on the movement of NLFT militants. The meeting also discussed the July 22 encounter between TSR and NLFT. “The meeting took note of the successful operation but came to the view that the NLFT had been strengthening its ranks for a major offensive in the run-up to the Assembly elections,” a source said. “At the moment there is no dearth of forces as the state has 12 battalions of TSR in addition to seven battalions of CRPF, nine battalions of BSF. Hence, all the vulnerable points along the eastern border will be plugged by relocating camps. There is a good supply of arms and ammunition needed for fighting the militants,” the source added.

Next round of talks between the Centre and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) will be held on July 30 and August 1 and 3 in New Delhi.

While a team of senior members of the NSCN led by Isak Swu and Muivah are currently in New Delhi, another group of kilonsers (ministers) and top functionaries of the group joined them on July 24. Sources said the Centre’s interlocutor, R.S. Pandey, would lead the Government delegation during the talks. NSCN-IM sources said if an interim agreement could be worked out, it would be signed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Swu and Muivah. Currently, the Centre and the NSCN-IM are discussing land and resources, interim period and decommissioning of weapons of over 15,000 Naga militants. All the 60 Nagaland legislators will meet central leaders on August 7 and 8 in New Delhi to urge them to expedite the peace process and express their willingness to pave the way (step down) for any solution, which would be honourable and acceptable to the Naga people. An 18-member team of Joint Legislators Forum will also meet central leaders to seek a consensus on the Naga issue.

on July 25, 2012, Mijarul Quayes, Foreign Secretary of Bangladesh said that India has never raised the issue of illegal infiltration from his country with Dhaka, reports The Sentinel. He commented, “…of course, there is a whole lot of traffic between Bangladesh and India, people coming and going to either side. But we do not have any credible basis to think that there is an influx. Now, I say this because the issue as raised is an over-simplification and I think that if there are political dimensions in a domestic sense, I would not be able to comment on that. But I think what is important is, between Bangladesh and India, that when you sit down to talk, it is not an issue that has been raised by the Indian Government. Therefore, we would assume that they are also quite satisfied that it is an issue that does not need to be talked about…”

State Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said that tussle over land between Bodos and non-Bodos is the main reason behind the clashes, reports Times of India. Gogoi further said Muslims in Bodoland are Indian citizens and not Bangladeshis. Gogoi further assured that the non-tribal people in the Bodoland Territorial Autonomous District (BTAD) tribal belt who have been displaced and are staying in relief camps will not lose the land they have left behind. The Telegraph adds that CM Tarun Gogoi described the turmoil in the Bodo belt to the feeling of deprivation among all sections and prescribed economic development as the only cure. The chief minister blamed a “third” force for spreading rumours, which resulted in more people flocking to relief camps than in the previous riots that had seen more devastation and deaths. He pointed out that 113, 198, 186, 98, 106 and 64 persons were killed in the riots of 1994, 1996, 1998, 2004, 2005 and 2008 respectively.

A UNC statement, while supporting the July 16 resolution, said innocent Tamenglong villagers, who have no technical knowledge of the far-reaching impact of oil drilling on the environment and on their habitations and of the hazards of the activity, have been duped into signing an agreement for seismic surveys by the Alpha Geo Company.

Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) has made inroads into Dima Hasao District of the State. According to an intelligence source, is trying to set up base in the District because of three basic reasons — the ongoing projects in the District, better population structure of the community in that part of Assam and the growing ideological clash between the Khaplang faction of NSCN (NSCN-K) and Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF) in neighbouring Manipur. NSCN-IM also runs its own extortion racket, specifically targeting outsiders who come to work in different national-level projects such gauge conversion and East-West Corridor, among others. The report states that migration of militants from neighbouring Manipur and Nagaland is one of the main reasons behind frequent law and order crises in Dima Hasao, where though Dimasas are a majority.

UHM hinting role of illegal immigrants, described the porous Indo-Bangladesh border as a “difficult” border, which was “complex” to manage. “Assam is perhaps the most complex state to govern in this country. We have the Assamese population, we have a number of tribes, we have people who have migrated from other states and we also have a problem, which is undeniable — of people who have illegally entered Assam. That’s why it is a complex state to administer.”UHM Chidambaram also claimed that influx has come down sharply over the last few years. Chidambaram further said, “I am not saying nobody comes. However, we are acutely aware what we have to do. We need more BoPs [Border Outposts], more roads. We have firmed up the border guarding plans and the execution of that need to be speeded-up”. Denying intelligence failure, Chidambaram said the violence was sparked off by two incidents — one on July 6 and the other on July 19. “The two trigger incidents took place openly. But no one expected the conflagration would spread within two/three days. There was not enough police force to contain it quickly. Once the forces came, they managed to control it.”

ex-Bodo Liberation Tiger Welfare Society (Ex-BLTWS) set three conditions for resettling the displaced people in their respective villages. Ex-BLTWS ‘president’ Jana Mohan Mashahary said, “The government must update the National Register of Citizens (NRC) before beginning the resettlement of people. The names of the people who will be resettled must be included in the voters’ list of 1971 and they must possess myadi land patta. This is necessary to check influx of illegal immigrants.” He also expressed apprehension that the number of immigrant camp inmates could increase once the process of resettlement starts. Mashahary also said that the newly-formed Islamic militant outfit United Muslim Nationalist Army (UMNA), which declared an armed movement on June 15, 2012, to liberate Muslim land in 13 Districts of Assam, could be involved in the violence in Kokrajhar, Chirang and Dhubri districts. “The UMNA has also been collecting taxes from people for raising fund for the outfit. The outfit plans to carry out their armed movement from Kokrajhar to Golaghat and the Bodo people are now their target,” said Mashahary. Mashahary added, “The UMNA is headed by Ramjan Islam.

Then we will think about the next step.” The Minister also added that all the 60 legislators of the Nagaland Assembly belonging to various political parties were slated to reach New Delhi to meet him and the Prime Minister on August 6 and 7 in support of the ongoing peace talks.
