Khagrabari village on May 2, 2014, with firearms and sharp weapons like dao (machete)," an NIA report, accessed by the newspaper, said.

Meanwhile, State Police headquarters has asked Police Stations to beef up security as militants may target them in the run-up to Republic Day celebrations, reports The Telegraph.

Addressing a press conference at the circuit house in Silchar, the DCs said the present government in Dhaka has taken tough action against the outfit and so it will not raise its head again in any part of the country.

Chief Minister (CM) Tarun Gogoi on January 26 said that the process of updating the National Register of Citizens (NRC), intended at helping solve the issue of illegal migration from Bangladesh to the State, will be completed in the current year, reports The Indian Express. “The procedure devised for updation envisages use of latest information technology and aims at ensuring that no names of foreign nationals find place in the NRC. The NRC will be published in January 2016,” CM Tarun Gogoi added. CM Tarun Gogoi also said that the issue of illegal migration has been a matter of serious concern in Assam for long, and updating the NRC was one step towards a permanent solution. “We are committed to detect and deport foreigners under provisions of the Assam Accord [signed in 1985], but there are certain difficulties too. Our government is committed to the imperative of preventing illegal infiltration from across the international borders and various measures have been taken in this regard,” he said. Describing updation of the NRC as one step towards bringing about a permanent solution to the Bangladeshi influx issue, Gogoi said preparatory works for NRC updation had already started under guidance of the central government. Several steps have been also taken to prevent further influx across the border, he said. CM Tarun Gogoi further claimed credit for bringing to the mainstream several militant groups through the strategy adopted by his Government in the past 14 years under the Unified Command Structure. “The success has been reflected in suspension of operations (SoO) agreements with as many as 17 extremist outfits, out of which four have signed memorandum of settlement (MoS) with the government,” he added.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has found that laptops, offered to meritorious students in Assam under a government scheme, were used by the Jamat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) militants in their operations, reports The New Indian Express. Sleuths of the agency, who came from Kolkata, recovered an unspecified number of such laptops in the state over the last few days. “The JMB had developed its network through these laptops. The first of these laptops was recovered from a madrasa in West Bengal. Subsequently, interrogations of the arrested JMB members led to the recovery of some more laptops from Assam,” an NIA source told the newspaper on January 31. The Police suspected that many poor students sold off these laptops in return for money. “There are many villages which are yet to be electrified. So, as the students of these villages cannot use the laptops at home, they, perhaps, sold them off. It could also be that some poor students sold them off in return for money,” a senior Police officer said.
