With investigation into the international racket pumping in Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) in the state (Assam) proceeding at snail's pace, state Police have been struggling to check the menace, reports The Times of India on September 2. The reports said that the situation is so critical that out of total 352 cases that have been registered against FICN denotation suppliers since 2010 till June 2015, only six were convicted. A Home department official said, "During the same period, at least 388 persons were arrested across the state. State Police have prepared charge sheets in only 189 cases." Not even a single accused was convicted or sentenced since 2013. Out of the total six convicted in the last five years, two were found guilty in 2011 and four in 2012. A top Police official said "Most of the arrested were merely smugglers only, whereas the king pin of such rackets operate from outside the country. Investigation suffers when it comes to an international territory." According to intelligence reports, Pakistan-based militant groups, with the help of several insurgents in Myanmar and Bangladesh, have been pumping in counterfeit notes to India. Sources said militant groups in the Northeast get huge funds from the FICN trade. The official said, "Police are involved in checking traditional crimes like insurgency and ethnic clashes. Fake currency has not become a priority of the force yet."

In a joint meeting convened on September 3 in Haflong in Dima Hasao District to discuss the issues plaguing the indigenous hill tribes of Manipur, leaders and members of Indigenous Peoples’ Forum (IPF) of North Cachar Hills, North Cachar Hills Indigenous Student’s Forum (NCHISF), Indigenous Women Forum (IWF), Indigenous Village Chief Forum (IVCF) and the affiliated apex bodies of the Zeme, Hmar, Kuki, Vaiphei, Biate, Rongmei, Hrangkhol and other tribal communities condemned the steps taken by the Manipur state administration to introduce the three Bills namely Protection of Manipur People Bills 2015, Manipur Land Revenue and Land Reforms (7th Amendment) Bill 2015 and Manipur Shop and Establishment (2nd Amendment) Bill 2015, in a special session of the state Assembly on August 28 without taking the hill tribes under their confidence, reports The Sentinel. The leaders said that the declaration of the Bills by the Manipur Legislative Assembly was done without the prior consent of the hill tribes of the state. The steps taken by the Ibobi Singh led Manipur Government is a gross violation and infringement upon rights of the indigenous tribal communities. The state administration has also violated the rules and provisions of the United Nations (UN) Declaration on the Rights of the Indigenous People Article no.26, 1 and 2. The members felt it is part of a conspiracy to exclude the hill tribes from their rights and benefits in their own land.

With militancy showing no sign of abetting, the Central Government is exploring the possibility of sanctioning Arunachal Pradesh Government’s proposal for formation of Patkai Autonomous District Council covering the three sensitive Districts of Tirap, Changlang and Longding in Arunachal Pradesh, reports The Assam Tribune. Union Home Minister (UHM) Rajnath Singh gave this assurance during a meeting of a delegation led by Chief Minister Nabam Tuki in New Delhi on September 6. The militants belonging to Independent faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-I), IK Songbijit faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-IKS) and Khaplang faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K), besides other militant groups have set up bases in the three Districts using them as transit route to Myanmar. The Chief Minister, while highlighting the need for an Autonomous Council to further the development in these sensitive insurgency affected districts, gave a historical overview of the demand for Patkai Autonomous District Council. He emphasised that this has been a long-standing demand of the people of the State, particularly the people of these three Districts who have been affected by insurgency leading to poor socio-economic conditions and lack of development. The demand for formation of Patkai Autonomous Council was passed by the Assembly in 2004 and 2007 and the Cabinet approved it in 2013. The proposal was then sent to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) and a committee headed by joint Secretary (North East), UMHA was constituted by the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Government. The Committee had visited the three Districts in February, 2014. Since then, there has been no communication from the UMHA.

Nagaland & Assam Governor PB Acharya stated that 4000 NSCN-IM militants would be absorbed into Security Forces (SFs) under the recent ‘frame work agreement’ signed between GoI and NSCN-IM, reports Nagaland Post on September 9. He stated that since the members of the group (NSCN I-M) have long been cut off from the civil society and living with arms, the government has decided to absorb some 4,000 of them into the security forces in a big way.” He also said that after signing of the agreement, NSCN (I-M) has now merged with the civil society. He stated that , “All that the NSCN (I-M) leadership wants is that the Nagas, wherever they reside, should enjoy equal status with other communities of the state where they are living.” The Governor also stated that when most of the breakaway groups of NSCN have accepted to join the civil society and shun the path of violence, it is not long before NSCN-K will also join the peace process. Achraya said while the NSCN has given up the demand for a sovereign Nagaland, their concern for the welfare of Nagas in other states will be looked into and the proposals made by the Union Government have been accepted by the Naga leaders. The Governor appealed to all armed groups operating in Assam and other parts of North East to shun the path of violence and to be the part of process of development of the region, reports Nagaland Post.

Several Naga Political Groups (NPGs) held a deliberation on September 8 on the Accord signed on August 3,2015 between the Government of India (GoI) and Isak-Muivah faction of NSCN (NSCN-IM) after which, they resolved to convey the message to the Government of India, that “the Naga people do not accept the Accord signed without their consent”, reports Nagaland Post. This was contained in a joint statement signed by ‘chairman’ Khitovi Zhimomi, Khole Konyak and ‘general secretary’ Z. Royim Yimchunger of Khole-Khitovi faction of NSCN (NSCN-KK), ‘acting president’ of Naga National Council (NNC) and ‘general secretary’ Vizosielhou Nagi NC; Kiumukam Yimchungru ‘president’ NNC-Non Accordist (NNC-NA) and Hangping Zeliang, general secretary NNC/NA; Thupushuyi S. Keyho ‘vice president’ NNC and P. Puthai Lam, kilo Kilonser, ‘federal government of Nagaland’ (FGN). The signatories stated that Naga people “expected the much-hyped Delhi Accord of 3rd August, 2015, between the GoI and NSCN (I-M), to set a positive tone for a more rational political discussion on a wide Naga spectrum, for a final political solution, acceptable to all Nagas”, reports Nagaland Post. However, they said, after a month, the Accord turned out to be “a stage-managed activity, under the carpet, with gross inconsistencies” which was destroying its very purpose. The signatories took cognizance of the “current negative political propaganda doing the rounds in Nagaland” after signing of the accord, wherein, they have, in the interest of the future Naga generations endorse the following: being fully aware about the stark differences in the interpretation of ‘sovereignty and integration’ issues between the GoI and NSCN (I-M); sensed the demise of reason and spirit of questioning in Nagaland; urging Naga tribes and common people against “ the perils of committing our land and future to the embryonic Delhi Accord.” Further, they maintained, that in the event Government of India (GoI) expressed its desire to” officially invite any of the signatories for finding “an acceptable political settlement to the Indo-Naga issue” they would, despite their ideological differences, “consult our people and extend unconditional support to one another”, reports Nagaland Post on September 9.

In a rejoinder to statement by Governor of Assam and Nagaland, PB Acharya, NSCN-IM stated that Governor was misinformed or ignorant of the framework agreement signed between the Government of India (GoI) and NSCN-IM, reports Kanglaonline on September 10. NSCN-IM stated that India and Naga will co-exist as two entities and that the question of merger of one with the other does not arise. It also added that “Nagas are not looking for status in par with other communities within the parameter of Indian Constitution. Ours is not a domestic/law and order problem of India”. NSCN-IM further added that ‘Division of Naga territory is one of the causes of the resistance movement. Peaceful and honourable solution will never be there so long as Nagas are kept divided. Territorial integration of the Nagas is a natural necessity, not a choice or demand”. NSCN-IM statement also said that “The framework agreement says that according to the universal principle sovereignty lies with the people, not government. Therefore, the sovereignty of India lies with the Indian people and the sovereignty of the Nagas lies with the Naga people. However, there will be sharing of sovereign power for enduring peaceful co-existence of the two entities.” Governor of Assam and Nagaland PB Acharya, in a statement had earlier said that the Framework Agreement is the foundation upon which the edifice of solution will be built and had added that no areas of other States will be lumped with Nagaland. He had also said that NSCN had given up the demand for a sovereign Nagaland, reports Kanglaonline on September 10.

According to highly placed security sources, the tough stand adopted by the Government of India (GoI) against the militants involved in December 23, 2014 massacre has brought down the level of violence in Assam, reports The Assam Tribune on September 11. Though initially, the operation was aimed against the IK Songbijit faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-IKS), which was involved in the massacre, the operations seriously affected the other militant groups active in the State. In the past, such operations launched after killings of innocents were not sustained for a long time, but because of the tough stand of the GoI, the operations have been sustained and the force level on the ground has also not been reduced. Sources said that in the operations against NDFB-IKS, so far, around 30 hardcore militants have been killed, while more than 190 have been arrested. More than 250 sympathisers and overground workers of the outfit have also been arrested. Report said that till May 2015, senior NDFB-IKS leader G Bidai, who allegedly masterminded the December 23 attack, was moving around with around 40 cadres and the strength of his group has dwindled to less than 10 now. They very often get into the Manas National Park to avoid arrest by the Security Forces (SFs). Small groups of NDFB-IKS men are also located in Gossaigaon, Saralpara, Udalguri, Sonitpur, etc., but they are not in a position to come out of the jungles. Abduction for ransom was the main source of income of the NDFB-IKS, but the outfit could not abduct anyone since the operation was launched against the outfit last year. Sources further add that under serious pressure, NDFB-IKS leader G Bidai has sent feelers to the Government through a few non-government organisations (NGOs) expressing his desire to go for a ceasefire. But the Government is not willing to take the offer. “The Government’s stand on the issue is very clear. If Bidai and any other member of the outfit wants to surrender, they will be arrested and they will have to face the law. There will be no ceasefire with the outfit,” sources added.

Government of India (GoI) and Eastern Nagaland People's Organisation (ENPO) held the first round of bilateral talks on the demand for the separate State of ‘Frontier Nagaland’ in New Delhi on September 10, reports The Assam Tribune on September 14. The ENPO, in a release, said both the parties agreed in principle that the process of discussions and the demand of Statehood by it is a separate issue in nature from the present Naga peace talks with the Centre. It was also agreed that both the issues “cannot be mixed up and misunderstood”, the release said. The ENPO stated that the discussion between Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) officials and ENPO delegation was very cordial with constructive atmosphere, fairness and openness. Issues and grievances of Eastern Nagaland were highlighted for better understanding and feedback of both the parties, it added. The release further informed that the discussion was related to the historical and political background of the ENPO. “The glaring socio-economic and political imbalances were highlighted before the Central officials which is an outcome of outright discrimination and negligence by the successive governments, both at the Centre and the State from day one,” it alleged. As the tripartite talks, proposed by the Centre was opposed, both the parties mutually agreed to initially hold several rounds of bilateral talks. The next round of bilateral talks is expected to be held before the year-end, it was informed.

Government of India’s (GoI) Joint Intelligence Committee Chairman and Chief interlocutor for Naga Peace Talks, R. N. Ravi categorically stated that there is nothing in the framework agreement signed between the Government of India and Isak-Muivah faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-IM) about boundaries, reports The Sangai Express on September 11. He stated, “Since the framework agreement does not contain any specific details, we have not been able to reach out to the people. And now I am here to meet the civil society organisations”. He also said that due to insistence of NSCN-IM ‘general secretary’ Thuingaleng Muivah’s insistence on ‘shared sovereignty’ the problem was yet to be resolved. He further added, “We have changed the format of engagement (with NSCN-IM). We changed the format in the sense that we realised that it is a comprehensive issue. Comprehensive issue needs to be resolved in a comprehensive way. That’s why we are trying to reach out to all the people”. On being enquired about a time frame of reaching a final solution, the interlocutor maintained that it was difficult to give a time frame.

Myanmar has protested to New Delhi against a counter-insurgency operation by Indian security forces, on September 5 which killed three Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) militants, reports The Telegraph on September 11. While the Assam Rifles (AR) allegedly crossed the border without permission on September 5, sources in the security forces said Myanmar was refusing to cooperate with Indian forces and was even encouraging the Northeast insurgents on its territory. Indian agencies say the militants have set up camps in Myanmar within a few kilometres of the border with Manipur. These camps are hamlets where many of the insurgents allegedly live with their families, reports The Telegraph. A source stated that "Indian militants have a camp in Mintha, 3km into Myanmar from the border, and another to its south in Hlezeik, There are camps also at Myothit and Thanan along the river Yu, all of them close to the border and under the very nose of the Myanmarese army." About 11km into Myanmar from Manipur border, United National Liberation Front (UNLF) is believed to have set up base in a hamlet called Heonkabin. Sources say cadres from the Khaplang faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K) militants recently visited this camp, reports The Telegraph on September 11.

DHD-A in collaboration with KPLT had planned an extortion drive in Dima Hasao, which was eventually foiled by our team," he said.

He said:, “Involvement of Myanmar based cadres of NSCN-K is a strong possibility especially after the NIA announcement of bounty on Khaplang and Niki Sumi. He added, “Since NIA has declared a large cash bounty for information about Khaplang and Niki Sumi, the possibility of other factions attacking the Tsera Camp is very likely.”

Though the GoI is keen on bringing back NSCN-K to the negotiation table, operations against the outfit would continue till it abjures violence and comes forward to rejoin the peace process, reports Nagaland Post on September 15. Highly placed sources in the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) said that it was the NSCN-K, which broke away from the ceasefire agreement with the Government and formed a common platform along with three other militant groups of the region having bases in Myanmar. The Government wants the outfit to rejoin the peace process for comprehensive solution to the Naga political issues, but that does not mean that the outfit would be allowed to indulge in acts of violence. Sources also said that GoI was yet to receive any positive gesture from NSCN-K and that it had has been providing shelter to other militant groups in Myanmar.

Assam Director General of Police (DGP) Khagen Sarma while talking to media persons at Police Guest House in Mangaldai in Darrang District on September 15 said that “The people of Assam have realized the original nature and way of functioning of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and hence irrespective of caste, language and religion, people have lost faith in them and rejected the outlawed outfit which has now been confined to a very small group of frustrated militants”, reports The Sentinel. Speaking about the activities of the ULFA cadres in Darrang and Udalguri, he said that only three ULFA cadres namely Rajen Deka, Bikram Bora alias Dipak and Ramesh Deka were functioning but instead of taking part in any major operation, the three were hiding in some remote areas. The DGP also said that “Islamic fundamentalists and other fundamentalist groups are active in Darrang and many other parts of the State. We are keeping a strict vigil on the activities of such fundamentalist groups”, adds The Assam Tribune. On the question of recent arrest of a youth from Darrang District in connection with his alleged links with notorious criminal Dawood Ibrahim, he said, “Dawood Ibrahim has massive business networks.

The Indian Army and Assam Police on September 18 launched their biggest operation – ‘Operation All Out’ - against Bodo militant outfit IK Songbijit faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-IKS), particularly in places close to the international border with Bhutan, reports The Shillong Times. Assam Director General of Police (DGP) Khagen Sarma, after reviewing the security scenario in Chirang District on September 19 said that “We launched the biggest operation against the NDFB militants yesterday (September 18). In today’s (September 19) meeting, we discussed the measures to be taken against them.” The operation against the NDFB-IKS has been launched in areas under the Bodoland Territorial Area Districts (BTAD) in Assam. Indian Air Force is involved in ‘Operation All Out,’ operating since January, along with the Army, Paramilitary Forces and State Police to eliminate NDFB-IKS militants. DGP said NDFB-IKS commander B. Bidai, who was involved in the massacre of Adivasis in December 2014, has gone into hiding. “It is difficult to find out someone if he goes into hiding, particularly due to the forest areas, which works in their favour. But if he comes out and tries to attack the security forces, we are going to catch him,” Sarma said. Some NDFB cadres were still in Myanmar and the Security Forces (SFs) were taking maximum precautions so that the militants are not able to enter India, he added.Lieutenant General Chand added that the operation has been intensified, especially along the Bhutan border, the forest areas of Kokrajhar, Chirang, Baksa and Sonitpur with the deployment of approximately 4,000 security personnel since January 2015, adds The Shillong Times. “As a result of these sustained and surgical intelligence-based operations, 18 terrorists were neutralised, 539 terrorists or overground workers were apprehended, and 175 assorted weapons, 180 hand grenades and seven IEDs were seized,” he said.Also, an upsurge of Islamic fundamentalism in Assam to avenge violence against minorities in the BTAD has become a challenge for the SFs, reports The Telegraph on September 20. Report said that the recent busting of a jihadi training centre and the recovery of arms in Chirang District are the latest pointers to this emerging threat. The training centre was being run under the guise of a martial arts school to escape the prying eyes of security agencies. “Formation of a new militant outfit called the Muslim Tiger Force of Assam (MTFA) to take revenge for killing of minorities in the BTAD is another cause of concern for the security establishments,” a Police source said. Two MTFA militants were arrested by the army from Gossaigaon in Kokrajhar District on September 18 and one 7.65mm rifle was recovered from them. According to Assam DGP Khagen Sarma, threat from Islamic fundamentalist forces is higher than that from local outfits like the NDFB-IKS because of the former’s pan-Islamic links. Sarma said during investigations into the activities of Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) in connection with the Burdwan blast, it had come to light that some key leaders of Islamic fundamentalist organisations had visited minority-dominated areas in lower Assam. He said the recent arrest of four Islamic fundamentalists from Chirang district has provided some fresh leads about their activities.

According to reports, slow progress of talks between the Government of India (GoI) and Pro-Talks faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-PTF) has resulted in growing frustration among the cadres of the outfit, reports The Assam Tribune on September 21. Reports said that under the circumstances, the possibility of a sizeable number of ULFA-PTF cadres switching over to the hardline faction headed by Paresh Baruah (ULFA-I) cannot be ruled out. The security agencies recently intercepted a few calls of ULFA-I ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Baruah and he also spoke about the possibility of some ULFA-PTF members switching over to the hardline faction. The report further said that a senior central committee member of the ULFA-PTF admitted that the cadres of the outfit who are sitting idle in the designated camps were frustrated and the possibility of some of them joining the hardline faction cannot be ruled out. He said that the GoI would lose a golden opportunity of political solution of the problems if the talks are not resumed by November, 2015 and this would only strengthen the hands of the hardline faction. He pointed out that there were only six instances of cease-fire violation by members of the ULFA-PTF in the last four years. He added that during the talks with the Government so far, they called for rehabilitation of the cadres, who are not even getting their monthly stipend regularly, but the Government only gave assurances and did nothing on the ground.

According to latest Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) figures, kidnappings, a staple insurgent activity in the North-East, has seen a significant decline this year, with the worst-affected state of Assam showing a nearly 70 per cent drop in kidnapping incidents even as the recently banned Khaplang faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K) outfit resorted to maximum abductions for any outfit in 2015, reports The Economic Times on September 22. The figures show that 182 kidnappings have been reported this year from the seven northeastern states compared to 250 in the same period last year and 369 in all in 2014. Assam has seen the biggest drop - from 125 in 2013 and 94 in 2014 to only 24 so far this year, kidnappings in Meghalaya are down from 110 last year to 45 so far this year and the same is down to 24 in Arunachal Pradesh from 49 last year. The maximum kidnappings by any outfit in the North-East this year, 34, have been done by the just-banned NSCN-K outfit in Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh, followed by 24 by Khole-Khitovi faction of NSCN (NSCN-KK) in both these states and 15 by the Isak-Muivah faction of NSCN (NSCN-IM) - with which a framework agreement was signed recently. In fact, Nagaland has now overtaken Assam as the state worst affected by kidnappings, reporting 55 cases already compared to 65 in all in 2014. The Naga outfits in Manipur along with NSCN-K have meanwhile emerged as the most violent North-East outfits this year, resorting to 65 incidents of terrorism and inflicting 27 casualties on Security Forces (SFs) this year through ambush attacks in Manipur and Nagaland on convoys of Army and Assam Rifles (AR) - the total casualties of SFs this year have hence jumped almost 300 per cent to 40 from only 12 in 2014. Civilian casualties are however down to a record low at only 32 casualties this year compared to 114 in the same period last year. Tripura, where the State Government lifted Armed Forces [Special Powers] Acts (AFSPA) earlier this year, continues to be the most peaceful state in the North-East, reporting only one violent incident, a single civilian death and two killings of SFs. Manipur, the worst-affected state by insurgency in North-East, has seen an improvement, with violent incidents down by nearly 25 per cent.

Further, the Police said suspected Achik Matgrik Elite Force (AMEF) rebels had abducted the nine passengers of the Resubelpara-bound bus coming from Dudhnoi in Goalpara District in Assam. "The kidnapping seems to be the handiwork of a breakaway group of AMEF. We have arrested one person. Search is on," said Superintendent of Police (SP), North Garo Hills, Ramesh Singh. Yesterday, the AMEF had sent an email to the media saying members of the outfit who had deserted the ranks were involved in the abduction. Five cadres of the AMEF had recently deserted the outfit. They are Basrang M. Sangma alias Asilang from Hatimarini village, Niksrang Ch Marak alias Rarik from Lower Sambrak, Sengrak Marak alias Saljatchi from Rimrangpara Gagagre, Chiseng Sangma alias Guare, also from Lower Sambrak, and Beltush Sangma from Rongmatchu village. The militants stopped the bus and asked everyone to disembark before choosing 16 targets, all of them from a particular community. Of the 16, seven were allowed to go. Sources said the bus driver reported the matter to the Police at Rongmil in North Garo Hills, who later visited the spot. The next day, the driver also reported the incident at Wageasi outpost. The conductor of the bus, identified as Avinash Ray, was among those abducted and released. Another source claimed that there were two Security Force (SF) personnel on the bus, including a Border Security Force (BSF) trooper. However, this could not be confirmed. Only two from the group of victims have been identified, Ray and Doley Gurung from nearby Dudhnoi in Assam

Interest in the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and jihadi organizations is on the rise in Assam, which has got the State Police worried, revealed Assam Director General of Police (DGP) Khagen Sarma on September 29, reports The Sentinel. Speaking at a press conference held at the Assam Police headquarters in Guwahati, the DGP said that although no ISIS activity has yet been seen in the State, internet users are frequently making ISIS related searches. No one from Assam has joined the IS so far, but rising interest in the terror organisation is a worrying aspect, said Sarma. “Many people have visited the ISIS websites through Internet and the hits recorded by these websites indicate that it is more than curiosity. It is on the higher side like in Jammu and Kashmir or in Andhra Pradesh,” the DGP said. “We do not have the expertise and equipment to monitor this but the National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO) is monitoring all these developments,” the DGP said, adding the cyber cell of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Assam Police, is also working on it. The DGP also said that the Assam Police is striving to increase the ratio of female Police personnel vis-a-vis male personnel. Stating that at present there are 65, 000 personnel in Assam Police, he said, “We have already posted 1,036 female constables. In each Police station presently, at least two female constables will be there.”

The ongoing agitation in the south District of Churachandpur against three bills passed by the Manipur Assembly has brought together two umbrella Kuki militant organisations having tripartite suspension of operation (SoO) agreements with the state government and the Centre, reports The Telegraph on September 30. Intelligence sources said the Kuki National Organisation (KNO) and United People’s Front (UPF), the umbrella organisations, are now working on a "Kuki state" within the framework of the Constitution. The Assam Rifles initiated the peace process with Kuki militant groups since 2005 and gradually more groups came forward and signed tripartite SoO agreements. Cadres of more than 20 armed Kuki groups are now staying at various designated camps across the state. Though the groups have been demanding start of a political dialogue, the Centre is yet to appoint an interlocutor to initiate the talks

Describing the militants in the North-Eastern (NE) States as the “greatest destabilisers”, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on September 30, called upon them to shun violence, which he said was the only factor holding back the progress of the region, reports The Sangai Express. “I am directly sending messages to the militants that if you are thinking of taking up arms and achieve something you are wrong. You are causing harm to your own people and you are the greatest destabilisers. “You are a trouble for your own region, not other region,” Rijiju said while addressing students at Lady Sri Ram College for Women at the Delhi University (DU) in New Delhi. Appealing for peace, Rijiju said that violence is the only factor that is holding back the progress of the region, which otherwise has everything that could make it a great destination of India. “North East is really beautiful region. Once we remove the violence from the region I can tell you it is the place to be. Only thing is we need to secure the place and once peace prevails prosperity will follow,” he added.

Suspected militants of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K), attacked Kakopathar Police Station in Tinsukia District on September 30, with sophisticated weapons and rocket-propelled grenades, but there was no casualty, reports The Sentinel. Tinsukia Superintendent of Police (SP) Mugdhajyoti Mahanta, who rushed to the spot, said the attack took place at around 8 pm. "The militants fired at the police station from near an SBI ATM located about 100 metres away. Personnel at the police station retaliated and went after the militants. The militants fled after firing an RPG which, however, did not explode," Mahanta said, adding that no one sustained injuries in the exchange of fire. He said though initially it was believed that there were four militants – two ULFA cadres and two from NSCN-K – possibility of the presence of a fifth militant is not ruled out. “Moreover, there could be a few more who were positioned for ambushes,” the SP said, adding that a manhunt has been launched to arrest them.
