According to news reports, non-Bodos living in the proposed Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) area have asked for a round-table conference on the issue of creation of the council. "We demand the issue should be discussed at length in a conference, where representatives of all concerned communities and organisations will be present. Discussions should be held on the basis of report of the three-member expert committee headed by former chief justice, Bhupinder Singh,'' said Brojen Mahanta, a convenor of the non-Bodos' meeting on December 1. The meeting was held under the banner of the Sanmilito Janagosthi Sangram Samity that consists of 18 non-Bodo organisations, representing communities from the minority groups such as the Adivasis, the Koch Rajbongshis and the Kalitas. The meeting also criticised the All Bodo Students Union (ABSU) and the Bodo Liberation Tigers (BLT) for threatening the non-Bodos for not supporting the creation of the BTC. As reported earlier, the BLT has submitted a memorandum to the Centre, saying that the Bodoland Autonomous Council should be dissolved and the BTC should be created under the Sixth schedule of the Constitution after reorganising several districts of the state.

Security force (SF) personnel on December 2, operating in the Tinsukia district of Assam, raided a camp of the proscribed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) terrorists inside the Dibru Reserve Forest area. Acting on a tip off, the SF’s launched a combing operation in the area. A group of ULFA terrorists, holed up in the camp, opened fire on the approaching troops ensuing in an encounter. However, the terrorists, taking advantage of the thick jungle, managed to escape. Two .303 rifles, a Chinese made hand grenade, large quantity of assorted ammunition, a radio set, medicines and incriminating documents were recovered from the site.

The Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said in Guwahati on December 2 that the State government was not averse to declaring a cease-fire in the State to facilitate possible peace talks between the Centre and the proscribed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA). The Chief Minister said, "It is up to the Centre to decide whether or not to declare a ceasefire in Assam. As far as my government is concerned, we have no objection whatsoever because we are keen on a negotiated settlement of the insurgency problem in the State." He also emphasised on the need for urgent political negotiations between the Government and the ULFA to sort out the problem and arrive at an acceptable solution. "The Centre can apply the same principle in Assam as is the case with the ceasefire and subsequent negotiations with the NSCN (I-M) in Nagaland," he said.

The Assam government on December 3 decided to defer the panchayat (local level) elections in the Bodoland Autonomous Council (BAC) areas spread over eight districts of the State. The State Panchayat and Rural Development Minister, Bhumidhar Barman said that an emergency Cabinet meeting on the same day in Guwahati decided to defer the panchayat polls in the BAC areas in view of the protest voiced by Bodo Liberation Tigers (BLT) and its allies. As reported earlier, the Bodo groups had raised their protest against the holding of panchayat polls in the BAC areas fearing that it would jeopardise the ongoing tripartite talks among the Centre, State Government and the BLT to find a solution to the Bodo problem. According to media reports, the Bodo groups have opined that instead of holding panchayat polls in the BAC areas, the government should concentrate on directing the ongoing peace talks towards a permanent solution to the problem by constituting a Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) as being demanded by the BLT. The BLT had also warned of violence in the BAC areas in case the State government insisted on holding panchayat polls there.

According to media reports, under heavy pressure from the Bhutanese authorities, terrorists of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) are reportedly attempting to set up camps and bases inside Meghalaya's Garo Hills. Reports quoting intelligence sources indicated that ULFA cadres entering the western Assam district of Barpeta from their camps in Bhutan, cross the Bramhaputra river and proceed to the Goalpara district or West Kamrup and later move inside Garo Hills. As reported earlier, Bhutanese Home Minister, Lyonpo Thinley Gyamtsho, had said in Kolkata recently that the ULFA, which runs nine camps in southern Bhutan, has agreed to close these down in phases following discussions with the Bhutanese government. According to him, four camps will be closed by December, while the strength in the remaining ones would be initially reduced and finally closed.

According to media reports of December 6, the Coordination Committee of Bodoland Movement (CCBM) has demanded that Panchayat (local level) polls should not be held in the proposed Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) areas. Reports added that the CCBM has been influenced by the decision of Assam State Election Commission (ASEC) not to hold panchayat elections in the Bodoland Autonomous Council (BAC) areas as per the recommendation of State Government. Convernor of the CCBM and President of the All Bodo Students Union (ABSU), Rabi Ram Narzary, said in Guwahati on December 6 that since the Assam Government had recommended deferment of the panchayat polls in the BAC area as a ‘goodwill’ gesture in the context of the ongoing tripartite talks on the Bodoland problem, it should be extended to the proposed BTC area which encompasses a wider area than the BAC.

Speaking in Guwahati on December 9, Assam Minister of State for Home, Pradyut Bordoloi said that instead of insisting on preconditions, the Central Government and the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) should commence peace talks for a long-lasting solution to the insurgency problem. He added that the Centre and ULFA should be flexible and begin talks by adopting a policy of give and take. He pointed out that the State government has requested the Centre to initiate the process of talks as "the issues raised by the militants can only be settled by the Central government and the state government can only create a favourable atmosphere." However, he said that till date, the State government has not decided to announce a unilateral cease-fire. The Minister opined that instead of declaring a unilateral cease-fire, the State government is of the view that a Nagaland type cease-fire should be the formula. While pointing out to the vital role played by non-government organisations (NGOs) like the Naga Mothers’ Association and the Naga Ho Ho in facilitating the cease-fire agreement between the government and the factions of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN), he urged Assamese NGOs to come forward and take up such a role.

The Assam government has urged the Union government to commence negotiations with the proscribed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) to solve the insurgency problem in the State. In an interview to The Sentinel, on December 10, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said there should not be any hurdle in holding talks with the ULFA since "Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee has demonstrated his government’s resolve to bring about [a] political settlement of [the] insurgency problem in the country… The policy, which is being applied for talks with Naga insurgents, should also be applied in the case of Assam militants. Vajpayee has met NSCN (IM) leaders in Japan." He also said that the government was in search of a mediator acceptable to both the sides for a possible dialogue. The Chief Minister pointed that he has received indications that the ULFA was ready for initiating a political dialogue with the government.

Commando training for Assam police will be made mandatory to render the State police capable of handling counter-insurgency operation on its own. Inspector General of Police (IGP) Training and Armed Police, B P Rao said in Guwahati, on December 31, after passing out from the training centre and before deployment, the trainees would have to undergo a four-month commando training. "Providing commando training to the Assam Police personnel would make the State less dependent on Central forces for counter-insurgency operations," Rao said. Commando training for police personnel has been made mandatory as per the recommendations and guidelines of the New Delhi-based Bureau of Public Research and Development (BPRD). The BPRD has recently recommended that, in Jammu and Kashmir and in the North East, where insurgents are active, commando training for the police personnel should be made mandatory.
