“very credible” intelligence inputs which indicate that substantial amounts of money was paid to then United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) in order to persuade the outfit to withdraw the ban on the National Games held in Guwahati. RN Ravi, a retired Special Director of the Intelligence Bureau (IB), made this disclosure. Ravi said that according to intelligence reports, ULFA first demanded an amount of INR 30 crore from Larson& Turbo (L&T), which seriously affected the construction work of the National Games venues. This threat put the Games in jeopardy and there was a big question mark on the Games. There was also a question mark on the ability of the State to hold the games peacefully, but later, a few politicians bought peace by arranging for payment of a substantial amount to the ULFA. He said that according to available intelligence inputs, an amount of INR 15 crore was paid to the ULFA to buy peace. However, there is no proof to indicate that the Government was directly involved in the entire deal. Ravi further said that there have been instances of political leaders maintaining links with militants in Nagaland and Manipur and even in Arunachal Pradesh. He said that the situation in Tripura has improved in the last seven or eight years as the political leaders have stopped maintaining links with the ultras after militancy is now on the

The Border Security Force (BSF) identified spots along India's boundary with Pakistan and Bangladesh vulnerable to crime, illegal migration and border firing, as reported on September 5, by The Times of India. The highest number of such spots is in West Bengal on the eastern side and Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab on the western border. Along the 2,308 km border with Pakistan, there are 51 vulnerable Border out posts (BOPs), 28 in Jammu and 23 in Punjab. Smuggling of narcotics and weapons were detected through Punjab's vulnerable BOPs. The BSF plans to build 286 more BOPs, 198 along India's border with Bangladesh and 88 with Pakistan. Along the 4,096.70 km India-Bangladesh border, the BSF marked 112 of its 987 BOPs spread across five states as vulnerable. Of them, 67are along West Bengal's 2,200 km border with Bangladesh. They are hotbed of infiltration, human trafficking, cattle smuggling and circulation of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs). Between January-July 31, BSF arrested 591 infiltrators on the India-Bangladesh border. Of them, 397 were arrested in Bengal, 113 in Tripura and 22 in Assam. The BSF identified 11 vulnerable BOPs in Assam, 13 in Meghalaya, one in Mizoram and two in Tripura. The major problem in Assam's 11 vulnerable BOPs is circulation of FICN and cattle smuggling, especially in Dhubri District, said a BSF officer. "After the vulnerability mapping, we have mobilized extra resources, including more weapons, ammunition and vehicles, to these BOPs…. But, Bangladesh is not forthcoming on joint patrolling”. said a BSF officer.

The Kuki National Organisation (KNO) has threatened to call off its seven-year truce with the Union and Manipur Government if a political dialogue is not started within three months, reports The Telegraph on September 3. The demand comes at a time when talks with the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) have reached a crucial juncture. Both are competing for over-lapping territories, claims that had led to large scale violence in 1993. “The Manipur government unilaterally extended the suspension of operations (SoO) agreement (on August 30) for only three months, citing violation of ground rules by cadres. We signed the agreement but our stand is that if a dialogue is not started we will abrogate the SoO,” KNO spokesperson Seilen Haokip said. The outfit signed the tripartite suspension of operations in 2005. The KNO claims a Zale’-gam (Land of freedom) that includes large parts of Manipur’s hills under one administrative unit within the Indian constitutional framework.

A reliable source said, the move to verify the status of the militant outfit came from MHA after suspicion and complaints of fake or false surrender were reported.

The weapons made available in Myanmar by China have been posing problems for the North East region for years, in recent times incidents of such weapons being procured by a section of refugees of southern Bhutan has also come to light, which makes it clear that a new militant group may come up soon in the area. Highly placed security sources told The Assam Tribune that over the years, China has been pumping in a large number of weapons to Myanmar to deal with the problems in Kachin and a sizeable portion of those weapons are coming to the hands of the militant groups of the North East through arms smugglers. Sources pointed out that a vicious cycle of arms dealing has been established in the area and there are reasons to believe that the arms smuggling is taking place with full knowledge of the lower level personnel of the Myanmar Army. Sources said that over the years, the Myanmar Army personnel turned a blind eye to such arms smuggling and the weapons are brought into India through Mon District of Nagaland and through Tirap and Changlang Districts of Arunachal Pradesh. Sources said that a group of refugees of Bhutan established contact with the Ranjan Daimary faction of the National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB-RD) and received training in a camp of the NDFB in Kachugaon reserve forest area near the Indo-Bhutan border. So far, the new group has not indulged in any major act of violence, but it is suspected that members of the group were involved in firing at five Bhutanese nationals in July, in which one person was killed. Sources said that the Government of India has already informed Bhutan of the developments so that necessary action can be taken in this regard.

Though fencing work in 689 km border has been completed, some strategic border patches in eastern parts still remained unfenced, virtually giving a free zone for cross border movement of insurgents and criminals. Besides completion of fencing by this fiscal, Ministry of Home Affairs was contemplating for installing flood lighting system as part of full-proof border management within stipulated time, officials stated.

Manipur and Nagaland are said to be the main centres from where sophisticated arms are being sent to the Garo Hills Districts of Meghalaya where a major insurgency upsurge is continuing for the last three years. Nagaland, home to the oldest insurgency group Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN), and Manipur, border State having the largest number of militant groups both in the hills and the valley, have become ideal States for shopping by Garo militants, particularly the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA). The attack on a GNLA camp by Garo Hills Police near Williamnagar on September 14 led to the recovery of a highly sophisticated Heckler and Koch (HK) 5.56mm calibre automatic rifle made in Germany. The weapon was in the possession of West Khasi Hills ‘area commander’ Tosol T Sangma who died in the encounter with the Police. The rifle was recovered with a complete set that included a powerful telescope which could be operated during the night as a night vision glass and laser technology for target spotting, informed Garo Hills Police. The GNLA is said to have anything between half to a dozen such foreign weapons in the possession of GNLA ‘commander-in-chief’ Sohan D Shira who distributes it to the senior most members such as area commanders like Tosol T Sangma. “Sohan himself keeps one HK automatic rifle with himself for protection day in and day out,” said Police sources. This will be the third time security forces have managed to recover foreign made weapons meant for GNLA.

Security Forces has come across vital information regarding the game plan of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to set up guerrilla zones in the hills in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh of Northeast (NE) to strengthen their arms wing in the region. Highly placed security sources told The Assam Tribune that the Maoist rebels would try to set up guerrilla zones mostly in the hills bordering Assam and Arunachal Pradesh as well as in the thick jungles of Karbi Anglong. Sources said that setting up of such guerrilla zones would facilitate launching of armed movement by the Maoist militant groups as they are under pressure in recent times. Sources pointed out that the thick jungles in the hills bordering Assam and Arunachal Pradesh as well as Karbi Anglong would give adequate cover to the militants and they would be able to set up full fledged militant camps and also to set up training camps. The Police and security forces operating in this area have been alerted about the game plan of the Maoists so that the plan can be thwarted.

Assam has deported only 134 illegal immigrants to Bangladesh in the past two years, even though the Tribunals, tasked with detecting the foreigners, had found as many as 5,652 offenders between 2010 and 2012, The Times of India reported on September 18. Assam Government has recently informed the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) that 36 existing Tribunals had declared 4,787 as "illegal immigrants" who came to the State on or after March 25, 1971. Besides, 865 people — who were part of pre-1971 stream of illegal migration — were also declared "foreigners" by the Tribunals under the Foreigners Act, 1946. But, nearly 97 percent of them went missing after being declared "illegal migrants". "The dismal record of deportation, where only 134 of 5,652 people were deported, is an indication of the futility of the whole exercise when most of those declared illegal immigrants just vanished into thin air," said an unnamed official. The report also said that over 310,000 cases of suspected illegal Bangladeshi immigrants are pending at the Tribunals in the State. The Assam Government has requested the UMHA for 64 more Tribunals and reasoned that the additional ones would help settle the pending cases. "We will send a proposal to the finance ministry for approval," an unnamed UMHA official said. Around INR 2.2 million per annum is estimated to be the expense for each Tribunal - comprising two judges — that functions under the Foreigners Act, 1946. Figures, available with the UMHA, also show that 58,932 Bangladeshi nationals, who entered India legally during 2009-11, did not return. Immigration figures show that only 23,653 out of total 82,585 Bangladeshi citizens could be traced and deported between 2009 and 2011, leaving whereabouts of 58,932 of them unknown.

India will erect single row fencing instead of double row fencing in several areas along the border with Bangladesh, officials said on September 18. About 80 per cent of the 856-km India-Bangladesh international border in Tripura has so far been fenced with double rows to check trans-border movement of militants, prevent infiltration, and curb border crimes. “More than 61 patches of the India-Bangladesh border with Tripura could not be fenced following objections by villagers,” a Border Security Force (BSF) spokesperson said. “Bangladesh has been objecting to the fencing at the zero line,” he added.

Nagaland Assembly, on September 21, took serious note of the frequent loss of arms and ammunition that mostly land in the hands of militants in the State. Between 1998 and 2012, the State has lost 152 guns of different calibers and 44,550 rounds of ammunition. The lost weapons included automatic rifles like AK-47, SLR, carbine and machine guns. Most of these are now with militant outfits operating in the State. Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio said, the Ministry of Home Affairs had taken serious note of the loss of several weapons by Police personnel and was making efforts to recover the arms from militant groups through the ceasefire monitoring group. Rio said the State Government was making all efforts to curb insurgent activities in coordination with the Centre and termed the loss of weapons and ammunition as “shameful”. “It is a shame that our police personnel are robbing arms and ammunition”, he said. Dozens of police personnel had deserted the force and joined rebel outfits with arms and ammunition, a fact that Rio also confirmed. He said action had already been initiated against some Police officers and jawans for the lost arms and ammunition.

Young Mizo Association (YMA), the Mizo apex body is to begin a campaign to ensure inclusion of only Indian citizens in the electoral rolls and to prevent changes in the demographic pattern as witnessed in Assam, Tripura and Meghalaya. The move comes in the wake of a large number of foreigners being enrolled in the State voters' list due to some unscrupulous politicians, said a leader of YMA central committee. The committee has instructed all its branches across the State to be actively involved in the hearings during summary revision of electoral rolls, which will commence soon. The general secretary of YMA central committee, Vanlalruata, said they will take firm steps to delete names of foreigners from the electoral rolls and prevent foreigners from enlisting their names in the ongoing summary revision of voters' list. A source said, some villages sprang up in some places, especially on the Myanmar and Bangladesh border, without the permission of authorities and that majority of such people were illegal immigrants. "There are such villages even near Aizawl," he added. Mizoram shares a 404 kilometres long porous international border with Myanmar and a 318 kilometres long border with Bangladesh, making the State a conduit for smugglers and drug traffickers.
