According to media reports, a 24-hour strike called on November 12 by 18 non-tribal groups opposing a government plan to create a new autonomous territory for Bodo tribesmen disrupted normal life in Assam. Functioning of businesses, schools, offices and traffic on highways in western and northern parts of Assam were disrupted due to the strike. Non-tribals fear that Bodos would evict them once the proposed Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) was formed, slicing out most of western and northern parts of Assam. Meanwhile security has been intensified in the areas proposed to be part of the new BTC patrols following threats by the non-tribals of fresh ethnic violence between them and the Bodos. Several rounds of negotiations have been held between the Union government and the Bodo Liberation Tigers (BLT), and a decision has been reached to form the BTC, for the development of Bodo-dominated areas.

Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said in Guwahati, on November 14, that the existing laws were sufficient to deal with the insurgency in the State. He also said the Prevention of Terrorism Ordinance (POTO) is yet to be implemented in the State. Meanwhile, Gogoi opined that inadequate coordination between the security forces involved in counter-insurgency operations created problems at times. Commenting on allegations of police atrocities on innocent persons, he said directions have been issued to the police to differentiate between steps taken to deal with the insurgency and in common law and order problems. Meanwhile, commenting on reports that the Bodo terrorist groups including the Bodo Liberation Tigers (BLT) would oppose holding local (panchayat) level polls in Bodoland areas, the Chief Minister observed that the government "would not like to impose the polls on the Bodos if they are opposed to the same. We shall have to hold discussions with the Bodo groups." The Chief Minister felt that the Union government should consider the views of all ethnic groups living in the proposed Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) areas before finalising an accord with the BLT. He also said the cease-fire agreement with the BLT, due to expire in January 2001, could be extended, if necessary, to find a permanent solution to the problem.

According to media reports, the Assam government has sought additional para-military forces from the Union government following intelligence reports that the Inter Service Intelligence (ISI), Pakistan’s external intelligence agency, might target oil installations in the State. The request was made also amidst fresh reports of the proscribed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and Bodo militants entering into the State. While saying, "As per available intelligence inputs, ISI is insisting on causing large scale sabotage in the oil sector including refineries. In the changing scenario, large-scale sabotage in oil sector and other vital installation is likely to occur unless adequate protection is ensured," he suggested that a special, dedicated force for security of the oil sector has become a priority. Meanwhile, the Assam Chief Minister, while indicating that the law-and-order scenario in the State was critical, asserted that that the continuing financial crisis has severely eroded the capability of the State government to fight terrorism and insurgency. He emphasised the need to check infiltration from Bangladesh and issuing national identity cards. The Chief Minister also called for a revival of the rehabilitation package for surrendered militants. Claiming that the State government has been able to contain the activities of religious fundamentalists, including those of Muslim militant outfits, he expressed the apprehension that taking advantage of the September 11-terrorists incidents in New York, certain communal and fundamentalist forces may create trouble in the State. He further said terrorists based in the forests of Bhutan were fanning out into Assam, aparticularly along the inter-State border in search of establishing new camps. He added that special operations units comprising CRPF and Assam Police have been pressed into operation. In view of the heightened threat perception, the Chief Minister opined that the State government would like to urge induction of additional forces to the extent of 30 battalions of paramilitary forces, as assessed by the Central government. He further noted that if two companies of CRPF were withdrawn for deployment in Tirap and Changlang district in Arunachal Pradesh, it would create an adverse impact on counter-insurgency operations in the State. Drawing attention of the Union government to the reported movement of Bhutanese armed personnel in Assam, the Assam government sought a clarification from the Ministry of Home Affairs asking if there was any understanding with the Royal Government of Bhutan in this regard.

The proscribed United National Liberation Front (UNLF) has stated that the categorisation of certain terrorist outfits in the North-eastern region including the outfit itself under the Prevention of Terrorism Ordinance 2001 (POTO) by the Government of India was a "desperate and opportunist attempt on India’s part to cover up its inability to bring about political solutions to the North-east and Kashmir." Observing its 37th foundation day anniversary of the outfit, the UNLF in its annual statement issued on the occasion in Imphal while opining that "their struggle is a political struggle demanding a political solution" criticised the Government of India for what it called the misrepresenting of the ‘legitimate struggle’ as terrorist activity. The UNLF statement further said that it had never indulged in terrorist activities during the 37 years of its existence. The statement further added that the idea of a joint ‘liberation struggle’ initiated by the United Liberation Font of Asom (ULFA), National Socialist Council of Nagaland – Khaplang (NSCN-K) and UNLF with the formation of the Indo-Burma Revolutionary Front (IBRF) in 1990 is slowly but definitely becoming a reality. The outfit also appealed to the people to be aware of the "conspiracy hatched by the Indian Government and the NSCN (IM)." The outfit also stated that the June 18, 2001 incidents in Manipur and the strong anti-cease-fire agitation will "always be a lesson to those who think that the NSCN (IM) is all powerful and that appeasement of the NSCN (IM) is all that is necessary to solve the problems in the Indo-Burma region."

According to a media report, the Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on November 28 welcomed the proscribed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) willingness for a meaningful political solution to solve the ongoing insurgency. He also reportedly said that the State Government has begun looking for appropriate mediators for the proposed talks. Talking to Sentinel the Chief Minister termed the November 27 statement of ULFA Chairman Arabindo Rajkhowa as a "positive gesture". He said that the State government is always ready to solve the problem through negotiations and it was really encouraging that the outfit finally expressed its willingness for talks. As reported earlier, Rajkhowa had issued a statement on the occasion of the outfit's "Protest Day" where it stated that a political settlement of the "Indo-Assam conflict" alone was the way out to end the "illegal occupation of Assam by the Indian security forces" and the restoration of the right of self-determination to the people of Assam. The Chief Minister, however, indicated that thus far the ULFA has not contacted the State government for talks. Gogoi also said that the mediator for the proposed talks must be acceptable to both the sides. He added that before formal talks, a certain kind of relation must be established between the two sides. The Chief Minister also clarified that his government has no reservations if the ULFA desires to hold talks with the Union Government. "An NSCN-type dialogue could be initiated between the ULFA and Government of India", he said.
