Elsewhere in the State, the stretch of reserve forests along the border with Bhutan and Arunachal Pradesh in the Districts of Udalguri and Sonitpur is being virtually used as a “liberated zone” by the militants belonging to the Ranjan Daimary faction of the NDFB by taking advantage of the lack of adequate security presence in the area, reports Assam Tribune. Official sources said that vigilance in the area has been very limited and there is hardly any presence of the administration. The SFs reportedly launch operations in the area only when a major incident of violence takes place and whenever such operations are launched, the militants take advantage of the terrain to cross over either to Bhutan or to Arunachal Pradesh.

An unidentified militants abducted Tafajjul Ali Barbhuiya, a prominent advocate of Hailakandi, at gun-point from Triganga village in the Jamira area of Hailakandi District near Assam-Mizoram border in the night of October 17, reports Sentinel. Barbhuiya was staying at the residence of his relative Jalaluddin in Triganga. Police sources said a group of at least 14 militants, dressed in army attire, attacked the residence of Jalaluddin and abducted Barbhuiya at gun-point. Saidur Rahman and Abidur Rahman, sons of Jalajuddin, tried to resist the militants. The group reportedly started firing and also assaulted Nejamuddin, the wife of Jalaluddin. Later, they took away Barbhuiya towards a dense forest near the Assam-Mizoram border. Monoranjan Das, Officer-in-Charge of the Jamira Police Outpost, said the abduction was probably the handiwork of Ataur-Bahini, a newly formed outfit which has resorted to kidnapping and extortion in the border area.

Suspected militants of Ranjan Daimary faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) abducted P. Krishna Rao, a project manager of Gayatri-East Coast Insulation (Gayatri ECI), at gunpoint from Karigaon Joypur in Kokrajhar District on October 17, according to Telegraph. Rao was supervising work on the East-West corridor project at Karigaon Joypur in Kokrajhar when he was abducted by five motor-cycle-borne youths. The militants also fired three rounds in the air when the workers at the construction site tried to resist them. The abductors escaped north along National Highway 31C that leads to the Bhutan border through the Ripu-Chirang forest. Rao, who hails from Krishna District in Andhra Pradesh, is a diabetes patient with high blood pressure. He has been living at Kajalgaon in Chirang with his wife and two children for the past three years. In July last year, three officials, including an engineer, a contractor and a mason of the company, were abducted. They were, however, released after the company reportedly paid the ransom amount demanded by a militant group. Gayatri ECI (JV) has undertaken the National Highways Authority of India project for construction of a four-lane highway from Kachugaon in Kokrajhar to Rakhaldubi in Bongaigaon District, covering 63 kilometres. “We are yet to decide our next course of action. A decision will be taken tomorrow. The higher authorities in Delhi have been apprised of the incident,” the deputy general manager of the Gayatri ECI (JV), S.N. Raju, told over phone. The Superintendent of Police, Kokrajhar, P.K. Dutta, said an operation by a joint team of Police, Army and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) was being carried out to rescue P. Krishna Rao.

Sentinel reports that arrest of five youths by West Siang District Police from Aalo on October 20 has exposed the designs of National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) to rejuvenate the National Liberation Council of Taniland (NLCT) outfit by supplying arms to trained youths from Arunachal Pradesh. Sources said that one of the arrested youths, Tayum Ruti, was a trained cadre of the erstwhile NLCT. He underwent rigorous training of three months and 26 days at Mnt Glit in Nagaland, about 40 kilometres from Dimapur, under the NSCN-IM and completed his training in January 2009. After the arrest of Anthony Doke, the self-styled ‘commander-in-chief’ of NLCT, in June 2009 and several others earlier, Tayum was said to be one of the last two cadres of the outfit at large. The last active cadre, Police apprehend, might be working with one of the Bodo outfits. The investigations revealed that an NSCN-IM cadre, B. S. Aling Thangkhul, had handed over one AK 56 assault riffle, two 9-mm pistols and three country made hand grenades to Tayum in a rendezvous at Pale, a remote village along the border with Assam in Likabali sub-division, on October 3. Another person, Moi, who was also arrested on October 20, accompanied Tayum to receive the consignment and received on-the-spot training from the NSCN-IM cadre when he was made to open fire from the assault riffle. The duo told the Police that the plan was to reactivate the NLCT and launch covert operations and an extortion racket with help of the weapons. They were actually to keep the weapons in safety till the cadres returned with reinforcements from NSCN-IM on October 18. They confessed their involvement in a shootout at Garu in which the driver of a vehicle was killed while resisting the extortion attempt on him. Three other youths, identified as Tonya Angu, Bomkar Gara and Nyali Ori, were apparently not active cadres of the NLCT but were arrested by the Police for their involvement with Tayum. The report adds that Nyali was helping Tayum to find a customer for the AK 56 riffle while Tonya, an acquaintance, had agreed to hide the weapons at his house when Police launched a combing operation after the Garu shoot-out.

Five top leaders of the recently-surrendered Black Widow (BW) outfit, including its ‘commander-in-chief’ Niranjan Hojai, are in Nepal on a "secret mission" to sell off assets in that country which the outfit had bought to bankroll its now-discarded armed movement in the North Cachar Hills District. A source said the Assam Government has allowed the five to go to Nepal on a special request made by Hojai. Though Police have not mentioned their whereabouts, a submission in a court by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) indicated that the five former militants were not in their designated camps. The NIA on October 22 told the court that it had sought the custody of five BW cadres — Hojai, David Dimasa, Daniel Dimasa, Maurang Dimasa and Daku Dimasa — for interrogation in connection with the alleged diversion of North Cachar Hills Autonomous Council funds to the outfit. The Police told the NIA that these cadres were outside Assam and would be available only after October 27.

The cases of abduction, particularly in the areas where the anti-talks faction of the NDFB is active, has become a cause of concern and such acts have also reportedly slowed down the progress of major schemes, including the construction of the East West Corridor project. According to reports available with the Police, more than 30 people, including officials of the National Highway Authority of India, Railways etc., were abducted by the NDFB in 2009, which affected implementation of the major projects. Sources said that all abduction cases were not being reported to Police and only the abduction of high profile persons came to light through the media. Official sources said militants belonging to the anti-talks faction normally use the forest belt along the border with Bhutan and Arunachal Pradesh to keep the abducted persons by taking advantage of the fact that there is very little presence of Security Forces in that area and there have been instances when the kidnapped persons were shifted to Bhutan or Arunachal Pradesh whenever any major offensive is launched by the Security Forces.

Telegraph reports that a lawyer, Manoharmayum Ibotombi Sharma (54), who was served an extortion note of INR 100000 by a militant group in 2008 went missing from capital Imphal after leaving home to repair his car on October 26, 2009. Though the family has not received any ransom call yet, his wife Dhaniya Devi said that it is a case of abduction by suspected militants. Dhaniya said nearly a year ago, the Wanglen faction of the Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP) had demanded INR 100000 from her husband. But Sharma did not give them the money and the group did not persist with the demand either, she mentioned. "I cannot say if the same group is responsible for the abduction. So far, we do not have any clue about my husband. We suspect that some militants could be holding him for ransom," Dhaniya Devi said. Residents of Singjubung in Imphal city staged a sit-in protest on October 29 demanding Sharma’s release.

The breakaway faction of the Black Widow (BW) led by James Dimasa is expected to surrender in the next few days. A senior Police official in the District headquarters of Haflong in North Cachar Hills District said the faction led by Pronit Haflongbar alias James Dimasa (29) was in contact with some Administrative and Police officials to arrive at a consensus on the venue, time and terms of their possible surrender. James, a resident of Tapodisha in Haflong, and his group had deserted the BW earlier in 2009. Officials said the faction did not surrender fearing dilution of its demand for Dimaraji, a separate State for the Dimasas. James is reported to have changed his position after speaking to BW leader Niranjan Hojai, who led his cadres to surrender on October 2, 2009. As a prelude to the final surrender of the James faction, some of its cadres surrendered before the Army in the Hmar-dominated Churachandpur town of Manipur. While 16 cadres surrendered on September 18, two surrendered on October 26. The James faction is now said to have 19 cadres.
