Nearly 1,450 cadres of different militant groups were arrested across the state last year (2015) and a huge cache of arms and ammunition seized, Governor Padmanabha Balakrishna Acharya informed the State Assembly, reports The Economic Times. "During 2015, the security forces apprehended 1,449 cadres of different militant groups," Acharya said in his address to the House (February 1) on the first day of the February Session. "The security forces also recovered 577 assorted arms, 15,515 rounds of live ammunition, 58 IEDs, 307 grenades, 144 kg of explosives, 2,979 detonators and cash amounting to Rs 29,85,510 from different extremist elements," he added. Acharya also said 58 militants and 10 civilians were killed last year in encounters, while 49 other people were kidnapped in extremist-related incidents."Identification of one module of JMB (Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh) in the state in the wake of the blast in Khagragarh, Burdwan district, West Bengal, led to the arrest of 30 members of the module from Barpeta, Nalbari and Chirang districts of Assam as well as recovery of 10 bombs," he added. Acharya said efforts are going on to apprehend the remaining members of the module. Currently 13 militant groups are on the path of joining the mainstream after laying down their arms, he said. "My government would also like to appeal to Shri Paresh Baruah and his faction of the ULFA (United Liberation Front of Asom) and other insurgent groups to give up the path of violence and come back to the national mainstream in the interest of the people of Assam and the country at large," he added.

The Assam State Government on February 2 said that the killing of civilians and Security Force (SF) personnel has declined significantly during recent years, reports The Assam Tribune. Replying to a call attention motion by All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) Abdur Rahim Khan in the Legislative Assembly, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Rakibul Hussain said that only four SF personnel died in counter-insurgency operations in 2014, and none in 2015. Similarly, 10 civilians were killed by militants in 2015, and none so far in 2016. “The situation has improved significantly since our Government took charge. The fear psychosis that existed earlier is now absent. A total of 89 security personnel had died in 1997, 77 in 1998 and 87 in 1999. No doubt, in some areas problems do exist, but the situation now is much better,” Hussain said. Earlier, citing a media report, AIUDF’s Khan said that 272 Police personnel lost their lives in Assam during the last 15 years.

Assam Police have launched an operation to arrest at least 10 jihadi militants, who are now on the run, reports The Times of India on February 5. The operation will be centred around the Bodoland Territorial Area Districts (BTAD), but various minority-dominated Districts of the State have also been alerted, report said. Besides, three Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) Districts of Kokrajhar, Chirang and Baksa and neighbouring western Assam Districts of Barpeta and Nalbari have been marked sensitive on the suspicion that the Jihadi elements might have settled to spread tentacles in these areas.The Police have been conducting a major search operation against the jihadis for the past six months in the area and have arrested 18 people who are directly or indirectly involved in the recruitment, gun running and extortion rackets of various Muslim fundamentalist outfits. The biggest success was the busting of a training module at Daukhanagar in Dhaligaon in September 2015. The Police teams recovered eight handmade AK-47 lookalike rifles that were hidden in a pit. A Police official said, "During the combing operation, we found 28 uniforms meant for the cadres. So far we have arrested 18. We suspect that 10 more jihadi cadres are at large. Already, six among them have been identified."The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), while probing the 2012 BTAD riots, has disclosed the involvement of Islamic elements in the violence. Post Burdwan blast (October 2, 2014), the arrest of Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) cadre, Sahanur Alom, and his wife by an National Investigation Agency (NIA) team in Burdwan District of West Bengal had clearly proved the presence of jihadi elements in the State. Recently, Chirang Police arrested Tota Miya from the city's Hatigaon area with a pistol. He has been taken into three-day police custody. "We hope to get vital infofrom him," said Inspector General of Police (IGP) (BTAD), L R Bishnoi. One of the biggest catches in the operation, Bura Bhai, who was engaged in arms training and gun running for jihadi groups in the state, has revealed, during interrogation, how the char areas in the state have been used by such modules.

Members of a newly-floated militant outfit of the Moran community, Moran Tiger Force (MTF) are said to be behind the two incidents of firings happened on February 3 in Tinsukia District, reports The Times of India on February 5. Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) (special branch) Pallab Bhattacharya said "We have reports about a new outfit, Moran Tiger Force, floated a week ago. We also have clues about Paresh Baruah's involvement. The situation in Tinsukia district is tense and we have issued orders to bring the situation under control so that it does not spill over to Dibrugarh."The first incident took place at Ultapul near Digboi town in Tinsukia District at 6.45 pm on February 3.

Suspected Garo militants abducted an owner of a grocery shop, identified as Laldev Shah (Basu), from Bakharapara village in Bongaigaon District on February 15, reports The Sentinel. Laldev Shah was returning home at Dhupdhara in Goalpara District at around 5 pm on February 15 when armed militants allegedly kidnapped him from Bakharapara village at gunpoint.According to sources, a substantial portion of the funds generated from illegal activities like timber smuggling, poaching etc are going to the coffers of the North East militant groups, reports The Assam Tribune on February 16. Highly placed official sources said that timber smuggling and other such illegal activities are matters of serious concern, more so, because some of the militant groups are surviving on the money generated from such activities. Sources said that the Central Government had alerted the States of the region that such activities helped the militant groups to survive and the concerned State governments should take all possible steps to stop such illegal activities.Sources further revealed that for years the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) survived from the money that they received from those involved in illegal activities like timber smuggling and poaching. The other income source of the NDFB was abduction and extortion. But of late, after the Central Government decided to launch a massive combing operation against the militants belonging to the I.K. Songbijit faction of the NDFB (NDFB-IKS) after the involvement of members of the outfit in the gruesome killing of more than 70 persons on December 23, 2014, the fund flow to the outfit came down as its members, including senior leaders are on the run. The outfit has not been able to indulge in any kidnapping since the operation was launched and the extortion amounts are also coming down. However, sources admitted that according to reports, the remaining militants are surviving because of the money that they are receiving from the persons involved in timber smuggling.

The Pro-Talks faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-PTF) will lead the agitation by six indigenous communities in Assam for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status giving the movement a boost ahead of Assembly elections in Assam, reports The Telegraphon February 24. The group led by ‘chairman’ Arabinda Rajkhowa, who has already held seven rounds of talks with the Centre since 2010, has invited all indigenous communities (including the six) and other militant groups in ceasefire and chalk out plans at a convention here next month. "We will discuss with all the indigenous communities during the convention and work out a plan on how to carry forward the demand for ST status and protect the interests of all the indigenous communities. We will try to convince those organisations who had opposed the demand for ST status for the six communities," a leader of the group Mrinal Hazarika said."We have already talked to some organisations representing Bodos and are in talks with other groups too. The six communities have been in talks with the government for ST status for a long time and we will try to make sure that the issues are taken up jointly for an early resolution," Hazarika, who walked out of jail on bail in 2008, said.Tai Ahom, Moran, Muttock, Sutia, Koch Rajbongshi and the tea tribes have been demanding the Centre to accord ST status mainly because migration from neighbouring Bangladesh has posed serious threat to their indigenous identity and culture. The ST status, according to them, would ensure welfare of the communities as it would ensure reservation in jobs and other benefits.
