Telegraph reports that Interpol issued a red corner notice against ‘chairman’ of the anti-talks faction of the NDFB, Ranjan Daimary, who is wanted as Doimary Ranjan alias Ronsaigra Nabla Doimari alias D.R. Nabla, on January 1. Sources said that Daimary’s name was put on the Interpol list after talks between Centre’s Interlocutor P.C. Haldar and the pro-talks faction of the NDFB.

Arunachal Pradesh Home Minister Tako Dabi asked for Assam Government’s help for conducting joint counter-insurgency (CI) operations to flush out United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) militants taking shelter in forests along the inter-State border, reports Telegraph. He said the Arunachal Pradesh Government had expressed concern over the heightened activities of the ULFA and NDFB in six Districts of the State: East Siang, West Siang, Lower Dibang Valley, Upper Dibang Valley, Lohit and Papum Pare. The Minister said the State Police had launched three offensives in a span of two months to drive out militants from the forests of these Districts. “The security scenario in Tirap and Changlang has showed signs of improvement with the recent surrender of NSCN rebels in Khonsa. However, the situation in East Siang, West Siang, Lower Dibang Valley, Upper Dibang Valley, Lohit and Papum Pare remains a concern because of the presence of Ulfa and NDFB militants,” the Minister said. “As the home minister of Arunachal Pradesh, I prioritised the matter with urgency and sought help from Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi to destroy the hideouts in the districts,” Dabi said. “Gogoi assured all possible help from his side and considered a joint strike involving the forces of both the states and the army to tackle the rebels,” the Minister said. Dabi said he had recently toured Mebo and the adjoining areas of East Siang besides Likabali area of West Siang, where the NDFB and ULFA rebels were carrying out extortion activities, for taking stock of the situation. He said the cadres of these outfits were also smuggling timber from the forests in Seijosa of East Kameng and the Balijan area of Papum Pare District. The Home Minister said the Security Forces in Lohit, Upper and Lower Dibang Valleys, which have been the transit routes of ULFA cadres, had been put on high alert. “The substantial presence of Ulfa cadres in East Siang, West Siang, Upper and Lower Dibang valley districts besides movements of NDFB militants in belts of Papum Pare and East Kameng districts have raised security concerns in the state. We are trying our best to tackle the menace,” Deputy Inspector-General of East Range Tashi Lama said. An unnamed Police officer in East Kameng District said NDFB cadres had intensified extortion activities and set up camps in Seijosa. He said the fact that a suspected NDFB cadre was shot dead in a joint operation in the Khanamukh area under Missamari Police Station of Sonitpur District in Assam bordering East Kameng District on January 5 indicated that the Ranjan Daimary faction was quite active in the area.

The Union Government approved the deployment of 26 additional Assam Rifles battalions on the India-Myanmar border to check the activities of Northeast militants, including United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) cadres, who have been fleeing Bangladesh since the Security Forces (SFs) launched a series of raids against them, reports Telegraph. The Additional Director-General of Assam Rifles, Major General J.P. Nehra said in Shillong on January 12 that the additional battalions would be able to tackle Northeast militants taking shelter in Myanmar. General Nehra admitted that there had been an increase in the number of Northeast militants in Myanmar and that shortage of Assam Rifles personnel on the Indo-Myanmar border had hampered vigil. At present, only 15 battalions of the paramilitary force are manning the border from Arunachal Pradesh to Mizoram. Nehra said several hurdles, like rugged terrain and thin presence of security forces, were hindering effective control of the activities of Northeast militant groups on the India-Myanmar border. “The home ministry and other central security agencies have assured us that more forces would be deployed along the border to overcome the hurdles,” he added. Because of the thin deployment of Assam Rifles personnel in the Northeast, Nehra has called upon Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Mizoram and Nagaland to co-operate in containing militancy along the border. Nehra said there was a need for better co-ordination between the Assam Rifles and the Myanmar army, whose joint patrolling is now limited to verification of border pillars. He said the Myanmar authorities had assured the Assam Rifles that they were ready to take action against the Northeast militants taking shelter in their country. However, one problem in implementing the promise is the Myanmar army’s inability to reach the inaccessible and rugged terrain where the militants have set up camps.

SF sources said that China’s own political exigency in Myanmar was the factor responsible for ULFA ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Barua finding a safe haven along the China-Myanmar border. Sources said Barua had been traced to Ruili in Yunan province of China bordering Myanmar. “Most of the arms deals are struck at Ruili and from there the Chinese arms are brought to Bamo in Myanmar, from where they are routed to different places mostly through the Irrawaddy and its tributaries. ULFA and other militant outfits of the northeast also bring their arms and ammunition through this route,” sources said. “Since the Myanmar junta and these rebel groups are in ceasefire, the Indian insurgent outfits like National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN -K), ULFA, and Meitei groups of Manipur have found safe haven in the areas under control of the Kachin and Wa rebels [Myanmar],” added sources. Sources further mentioned that after the Bangladesh Government had stepped up action against the ULFA, Barua shifted base to the China Sino-Myanmar border and also set up camp in rebel-administered areas in Myanmar’s Kachin.

The Congress party in Assam asked its activists in the Bodo area not to venture out after sunset, after two recent killings and Police inputs that the Ranjan Daimary faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) may target them, reports Telegraph. The warning came ahead of the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) elections, likely to be held in April. A Pradesh Congress Committee leader said, “Two factors are involved. One, our Party Government has gone all out against the Ranjan Daimary group and they are out to take revenge. Second, the upcoming BTC elections in which the outfit would want to play a crucial role. This could be also a warning to us that we keep out of the polls so that they can take on the Bodo People’s Front, which is headed by former Bodo Liberation Tigers [BLT] chief Hagrama Mohilary.” A senior official added, “We have reasons to believe that both the (Congress) killings were carried out by the anti-talks faction of the NDFB.”

The formal surrender of arms by the Karbi Longri North Cachar Hills Liberation Front (KLNLF) was postponed till the second week of February, instead of the earlier schedule of January 26, reports Telegraph. Sources said there was a marked difference between the Assam Government’s assessment of the outfit’s strength and the figure provided by the group. The Government wanted to sort this out so that it could take necessary steps for the militants’ transit and stay at designated camps. The other reason for the delay was the KLNLF’s insistence to surrender arms in the presence of Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram.

The United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) stated that its jailed leaders would not jump parole, if freed from prison to facilitate peace talks with the Government, according to Sentinel. “Let me assure the government and the people of Assam that if released on parole we shall never betray the trust... we shall not flee,” said jailed ULFA leader Pradeep Gogoi. He responded following reports that the Assam Government was contemplating granting parole to at least eight top jailed ULFA leaders to facilitate peace talks, but the Centre is apprehensive that the militant leaders might jump parole and go underground. He further added, “Let the people of Assam and the government first take us into confidence... we are not going to break that trust.”

One United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) militant, identified as Santosh Rabha (22), was arrested by the Assam Police at Japorigog area in Kamrup District on January 19, reports Telegraph. One Austrian grenade and a bomb were recovered from his possession. He hails from Nalanga Pahartoli in Goalpara District. However, the Police have collected information about a four to five-member group of ULFA cadres belonging to ‘109 battalion’ of the outfit entering Guwahati with explosives to carry out strikes before January 26. Sources said, “He [Santosh] was operating under directions from self-styled sergeant major of 109 battalion, Dipak Das alias Dipak Rai, and commander Pradip Basumatary. During interrogation, Rabha said there were three more cadres of the 109 battalion holed up in the city.” Sources also added that their biggest worry was there are two more bombs in the city, which are yet to be found. This arrest assumes significance in the light of ULFA ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Barua’s threats of attacks ahead of Republic Day.

Security Forces (SFs) have zeroed in on Rowta reserve forest in Udalguri District following reports that cadres of the anti-talks faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) have set up temporary camps in the area.

The Udalguri Superintendent of Police, A.K. Tiwari, said that SFs have specific information that the NDFB cadres are holed up in the reserve forest. He further added that a large number SFs including the Army, Central Reserve Police Force and Assam Police personnel have been deployed in the forest and are carrying out a house-to-house search operation for the past couple of days.

Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) reviewed the security scenario in the State in a high level meeting with the officials of the Assam Government on January 28. Sources said that there have been some disturbing intelligence inputs about the situation in the bordering areas and though, Black Widow (BW) group, surrendered weapons, the situation in the hill district remains a matter of concern. As the National Socialist Council of Nagalim-IM (NSCN-IM) is under cease-fire agreement with the Government of India, the activities of the militants of the group in North Cachar Hills have become a matter of serious concern and it was one of the key points of discussions in the meeting. The Government of India has taken serious note of a newly formed militant group United Tribal Liberation Army (UTLA), which snatched weapons from the headquarters of an Assam Police battalion in Cachar in November, 2010. Sources added that the activities of the newly formed militant outfit were one of the issues discussed. In addition to these, the overall law and order situation was reviewed and the State Government was asked to make optimum utilization of the forces available as it might not be possible for the Centre to rush additional forces whenever required.

The agenda for the talks can be finalised at the negotiating table.” He also appealed to the Government to release the jailed central ULFA leaders to facilitate early talks. “We want Paresh Barua also to join the peace process but one can’t wait for him endlessly. Dialogue must start even if Barua refuses to be a part of the peace process,” he added. “Greater autonomy for Assam will solve the problems. It will function like a federating unit where all indigenous groups will have political roles to play,” he further added.
