Nagaland Post reports on July 4 that Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) clarified that killing of late Athong of NSCN-Khole Kitovi (NSCN-KK) on July 1 at Jessami in Ukhrul District had “nothing to do with factions or tribe. In a press release, the outfit stated that in the year 2008, the then “sergeant Athong committed treason by deserting with three service arms after brutally killing the ‘security commander lieutenant Thouthutho.” Since then, it said “Naga army had put him in the wanted list deserving death penalty.” NSCN-IM, however, said it was “a direct consonance with the treachery he had committed in the past.”

The Shillong Times reports on July 2 that another Garo militant outfit, United People’s Revolutionary Alliance (UPRA) has emerged in the State and has started issuing quit notices to illegal encroachers from outside especially in the plain belt areas of Garo Hills. The new militant outfit which has its headquarters in an undisclosed location called ‘Chusimra’ claimed that Garo Hills was being overrun by illegal encroachers from outside which was due to the ‘special favours’ being given by Members of Legislative Assembly (MLAs) and politicians in their respective constituencies by enabling them to get hold of job cards, ration cards, election IDs etc.The outfit made special mention about the initiative being taken by the Meghalaya Police to create ‘Force 10′, a new security unit to tackle militancy in Garo Hills and claimed that politicians were helping the illegal encroachers to get recruited into it. “We are issuing ‘quit notices’ to all illegal encroachers in Garo Hills. They must leave Garo Hills within the next 10 days, otherwise we will resort to our own course of action,” the ‘chairman’ of the outfit Tattara Matgrik said in a statement.

The State’s new Chief Secretary Barkos Warjri told reporters on July 1 that while the deployment of Security Force is required for the immediate dealing of the law and order problems in Garo Hills, and also to pursue the criminal cases, in the long run, force is not the answer as various measures including dialogue and development initiatives were necessary. Asked about whether there is any difference on the stand of the Centre and the State on the issue of holding dialogue with the militants, Warjri said, “There is no immediate change of stand. The government has been displaying flexibility and if at all there is a shift in approach, this has to be decided by the Centre and the State. Though he termed the Garo Hills situation as grave, the Chief Secretary, however, said that there was no plan to deploy the army or to declare Garo Hills as disturbed area. Warjri, who had also served in Manipur for many years, said that while 15 years ago, some militant groups in Manipur had some sort of ideology, this is not the case with the groups in Garo Hills which sprang up very quickly aimed at making short term gain with hardly any ideology.

Though a number of militant outfits of Assam have signed ceasefire agreements with the State and Central Governments to solve their problems through talks, several new outfits have cropped up in the last few years, reports The Assam Tribune on July 2. The most disturbing aspect is that a majority of the new outfits are splinter groups of the outfits which are either talking with the Government or have signed peace pacts. Sources told The Assam Tribune that at least 14 militant groups are under ceasefire agreements with the Government and talks with these outfits are on. Prominent among the outfits under ceasefire agreement with the government include the pro-talk faction of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-PTF), two factions of the National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB) etc. But at the same time, splinter groups of the outfits under ceasefire agreements are still active. New outfits are also active in the State and according to an estimate, there are at least 14 such militant groups.

Meghalaya Chief Minister (CM) Mukul Sangma on July 4 said that his Government is contemplating various aspects of laws available to tackle influx of foreigners, reports Shilong Times. “We will examine the various aspects of the laws available which will enable the state government to tackle influx of foreigners,” Sangma said.

He said that his Government was considering enforcement of the ‘Foreigners Act’ keeping in mind the fact that the State shares an international border with Bangladesh.

It may be mentioned here that issues concerning influx of foreigners have been raised on several occasions in the State Assembly. The high-level committee on influx under the chairmanship of Bindo M. Lanong, had exclusively recommended implementing the Inner Land Permit (ILP) system in Meghalaya to safeguard the indigenous community from the onslaught of illegal migrants.

CM stated that “The Maoist problem poses a threat; some of the insurgent groups have joined hands with the Maoists. The problem has to be nipped in the bud. There isn’t much difference between the insurgent groups and the Maoists.” He further added that “We have to tackle insurgency, along with which we have to create employment opportunities. We have not been able to attract big investments.”He stated that although insurgency in the state has been contained and added that “Not that it has been rooted out, the roots are still there. They have bases in foreign countries”. Referring to the problem posed by illegal immigration, Gogoi said the National Register of Citizens (NRC) is being updated and photo ID cards issued, which would help in detecting foreigners.

The Shillong Times reports on July 11 that the Government of India (GoI) has directed Meghalaya government not to hold talks with Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA). Chief Minister (CM) Mukul Sangma stated that “We have received a formal intimation from the Centre which directed us not to pursue talks with the GNLA since they are continuing with their criminal activities”. CM further stated that “The State Government has also made an appeal to all the militant groups in the State to stop all their criminal activities and come forward for a dialogue.”He added that it was an opportune time for militants to give up armed struggle and the Government will explore ways and means for them to surrender for long lasting peace in the State. The Assam Tribune further adds that the new thinking is because of the fact that once a peace process is initiated with one group, another group crops up to take its place. The State Government is negotiating with Achik National Volunteers’ Council (ANVC) and the Breakaway faction ANVC-B. The peace talk is currently stalled because of change of Government in New Delhi.

The Telegraph reports that two teenagers, identified as Brijil M. Sangma and Lakshish Sangma, were injured on July 25 in crossfire between Security Forces (SFs) and GNLA militants at Jogogre near Bajengdoba in East Garo Hills District when SFs raided a GNLA hideout. SFs stated that group of five militants, led by “area commander” Rangdat, were staying at the hideout. Police have recovered a 7.65mm pistol with four live rounds of ammunition and an empty cartridge from the hideout. The SFs have raided twelve hideouts of GNLA, after Counter Insurgency operations were launched in the last two months. The Shillong Times further adds that the ‘area commander’ Rangdat is the second in command of GNLA’s ‘northern command’ and a close aide of ‘area commander’ Pilliport D Shira.According to security outputs, the killing of non tribal labourers in West Garo Hills is being carried out to neutralize Police operations against militants, reports The Shillong Times on July 26. West Garo Hills Deputy Commissioner (DC), Pravin Bakshi stated “The spate of killings has a clear design to vitiate the communal atmosphere of Garo Hills and neighbouring Districts and precipitate a law and order situation wherein communal tension prevails. It is being done with the intent to gain strategically in terms of the current Police operations against militancy in Garo Hills. This has been clearly suggested by multiple security inputs and intelligence reports.” The killing of non-tribal labourer Saidul Islam on July 24 and another labourer on July 21 at West Garo Hills District may precipitate communal tension and law and order problems in West and South West Garo Hills Districts.
