Telegraph reports that an United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) militant, Gobin Ojha alias Kiran Jyoti Gogoi (29) and a Karbi Longri North Cachar Hills Liberation Front (KLNLF) cadre, Arun Terong alias John Mukran (37), laid down arms before the Inspector-General of the Assam-Meghalaya frontier of the BSF, Prithvi Raj, at a surrender ceremony during the 45th raising day of the Paramilitary Force in Shillong on December 1. “Myanmar continues to be a safe haven for the Ulfa cadres after the ongoing crackdown on militants by the Bangladeshi security forces,” the ULFA cadre revealed. Ojha said three camps of the ‘28th battalion’ of the ULFA were in Myanmar, located adjacent to the camps of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K). There were at present 110 ULFA cadres in the three camps and among the prominent leaders housed there include Konkon Gohain, Bijoy Chinese, Myanmar camp ‘commander’ Bijoy Das and Montu Saikia, he said. The militants said that the new cadres had to trek several days to reach the camps set up in a forest area in Myanmar. The ULFA cadre laid down one 7.65mm pistol and 5 rounds of 7.65mm ammunition. The KLNLF militant, Terong, who was the ‘finance commander’ of the outfit, laid down a 9-mm pistol.

The Border Security Force (BSF) personnel arrested two suspected Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operatives from Umkrem near Pyrdiwah in East Khasi Hills District along India-Bangladesh border on December 2, according to Telegraph. They were subsequently handed over to the Meghalaya Police. They were identified as Siraj Shamzudin (30) and Nazir Tarian Dabede (25) and both of them belonged to Kannur District in Kerala. A senior Police official said the militants had confessed their involvement in 2008 serial bomb blasts in Bangalore. They had also masterminded the 2005 terror attack in the same city of Bangalore. They managed to escape Bangladesh soon after the blasts and stayed there till they surfaced in on the Meghalaya border. The BSF public relations officer Ravi Gandhi said that Security Forces in Bangladesh had provided intelligence inputs to the BSF leading to their arrest. “The militants have confessed to belong to LeT though we could not recover any document or identity card from them,” Meghalaya Director General of Police S.B. Kakati said. The militants also did not possess any arm or ammunition. A senior Police official said the militants spoke fluent English. “They seem to be highly educated and are the brain behind many other bomb attacks in the southern states,” he mentioned. According to the Police, the LeT operatives had no contact or guide in Meghalaya and were probably trying to travel from Shillong to the mainland by themselves. The Police sources said that their guide in Bangladesh may have helped them to reach the border and returned soon after. “The LeT militants wanted to go to mainland India after reaching Shillong. We do not know what new mission they were entrusted with,” a Police official said. The Police ruled out any plan by the LeT operatives to strike in the Northeast.

On December 3, the two Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants, who were handed over to India by the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) near the India-Bangladesh border in Meghalaya on December 2, confessed their involvement in the July 25 Bangalore serial bomb blasts, reports Times of India. “Nazir Tarian Dabede (25) alias T Nazir told interrogators of Meghalaya Police and BSF that he had planted the bombs along with another person, Rahim,” a top Police official said on December 3. “The duo did not admit their involvement in the 2005 terrorist attack on the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore,” the official added. They are likely to be taken to Bangalore on December 5. A Bangalore Police team, led by an ACP, has arrived here. Formalities are on to take the two to Karnataka, officials said.

The Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) on December 6 rejected Meghalaya Chief Minister D. D. Lapang’s appeal to ‘surrender’ and his offer for ‘safe passage’, reports Shillong Times. The outfit accused the Government for not being sincere by solving political problems raised by it. "Mr Lapang’s statement was only to frighten us and dampen the patriotic spirit in the history of Hynniew-trep", the HNLC said. In an e-mailed statement issued to a section of the media, HNLC said, "The organisation will not entertain the personal appeal of Mr Lapang for safe passage." On December 5, Lapang had appealed to HNLC leaders ‘general secretary’ Cherishterfield Thangkhiew and ‘commander-in-chief’ Bobby Marwein to come over ground and also offered them ‘safe-passage.’

The Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC) outfit on December 11 stated that its fight for a separate Garoland would gain momentum with the Centre initiating the process for the creation of Telangana, according to Telegraph. The outfit’s ‘publicity secretary’, Arist Sangma, said with the Centre taking steps to create a Telangana State, the outfit’s demand would also be justified in the days to come. "Our demand is very much genuine and we are not asking for the sun or moon, but a separate state within India unlike other militant groups, which are demanding sovereignty," Sangma said.

An Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) cadre, Badonsing Lyngdoh Marshillong, who surrendered before the Dawki Police in the evening of December 13, revealed that the outfit still had over 100 cadres and most of them were wandering in Bangladesh to earn for their livelihood, reports Shillong Times. He mentioned that while leaders of the proscribed outfit were leading a luxurious life in Bangladesh, its common cadres were facing a lot of difficulty to make their both ends meet. He said the cadres of the outfit were working as labourers in the Khasi Pnar villages of Bangladesh. Marshillong, who joined the militant group in 2003, is a school drop-out. A resident of Pyndengsohsaw villager under Mawsynram Police Station in East Khasi Hills District, Marshillong crossed over to Bangladesh via Balat and completed his training at Arusumen Camp in the same year. After his training, the leaders gave him no assignment and had to spend his time with no responsibility. Later, he worked as a labourer at betel leaf garden of some of the Khasi-Pnar people residing at Nonsara village in Bangladesh earning BDT 100 per day. In 2006, he married one local Nonsara girl, Syntiew Dkhar. They now have a two-year-old daughter. In 2007, Marshillong had informed the ‘area commander’ of the banned outfit in writing that he was not willing to remain in the group. But he did not get any response. In the early part of December 2009, the group asked him to leave Bangladesh at once or face death. He was forced to leave Bangladesh. He crossed over to India on December 13 and surrendered at Dawki Police Station.

Shillong Times reports that Meghalaya Police is conducting counter-insurgency operations in the East Garo Hills region to flush out United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) militants who have entered in large numbers to escape ongoing flush-out operations in neighbouring State of Assam. The area is idle for militants to use as a corridor to cross over to and fro Bangladesh and for concealment of weapons in view of the thick forest cover with an inaccessible terrain. Meghalaya Director General of Police (DGP) S. B. Kakati said Garo Hills had previously been used by Assam-based militants as a safe haven. "I don't deny the fact that it is even now being used by militants and we are on the lookout for them," he said. According to Kakati, the area of concern is Resubelpara sub-division sharing border with Assam's Goalpara District. He said ‘109th battalion’ of the ULFA led by its ‘commander’ Hira Sarania was active in lower Assam and thereby used the route for transport of men and arms. "Resubelpara sub-division is infested by ULFA and even now operations are taking place to flush them out. There have been instances of arrest, seizure of weapons and neutralizing of militants," he said and added that identification of militants is a problem for the Police. In regards to the presence of local militant groups, the DGP said so far only the Liberation of Achik Elite Force (LAEF) was active with a few cadres and weapons but its strength had been drastically reduced following successive operations by the State Police. "Recent reports about the formation of a new Garo outfit by the ULFA called the Achik Liberation Tiger Force (ALTF) has not been substantiated," Kakati said adding that such a group was existing but nexus with ULFA was yet to be ascertained.

The HNLC spokesman Sainkupar Nongtraw said that the shutdown will come into effect from 6 pm on December 18 in the entire Khasi-Jaintia Hills.

The Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) cadres have been breaking boulders and supplying the stones to the construction market in Bangladesh, where they have most of their hideouts, an unnamed Police official quoting a surrendered HNLC militant said, reports Shillong Times. The HNLC cadre, Badonsing Lyngdoh Marshillong, who surrendered before the Dawki Police in the evening of December 13, revealed that its common members were facing immense hardship to eke out a living in Bangladesh. "Financial crisis has compelled the Khasi outfit to take to ‘business’ in Bangladesh for the survival of its cadres who are still camping in that country," the Police official said. He said one such business that HNLC is engaged is export of stones from a quarry owned by the outfit at Nohksiar, a Khasi village in Bangladesh. "From this quarry, HNLC is supplying stones to many places in Bangladesh," he said.

A United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) militant, Jatin Shaw alias Alput Thapa (25), surrendered and deposited his 9-mm pistol and one magazine before the Inspector General of the Border Security Force (Assam-Meghalaya frontier) Prithvi Raj on the same day. Jatin belonged to Golaghat in Assam and joined the ‘B company’ of the outfit in 2003 and underwent training at the ‘first battalion Naga camp’ in Myanmar. He was also involved in many killing and extortions cases in Assam. The surrendered militant worked as the ‘personal security officer’ of ‘commander of B company’ Sujeet Mohan. Jatin reportedly came over ground at the calling of his mother. He said, "I decided to leave the outfit after my mother asked me to do so". He also stated that National Socialist Council of Nagaland and ULFA are operating collectively in the forests of Myanmar, adding 20-25 cadres from Arunachal Pradesh were also undergoing training at different camps of the neighbouring country.

Shillong Times reports that Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) militants are taking shelter in Khasi villages well inside Bangladesh after committing crime in Meghalaya. "The HNLC militants mingle with the Khasi villagers staying in Bangladesh thereby making it impossible either for Meghalaya police or Bangladesh security forces to track down the militants," a senior Police Official said. The report adds that four HNLC militants who shot dead a coal trader, Raja Khongsit, in the East Khasi Hills border area, had infiltrated from Bangladesh into Pomshutia village in Meghalaya and exfiltrated to Bangladesh after committing the crime

The Meghalaya Government ordered a magisterial inquiry into the death of an inmate of the Jowai District Jail, Pynhunlang Kharbani (33), who was declared ‘brought dead’ at Jowai Civil Hospital on December 26 after he suddenly fell sick in his prison cell.

The Meghalaya Police decided to seek the help of surrendered Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) cadres to track down the militants who are provided shelter by villagers residing in Bangladesh after carrying out criminal activities in the State, according to Shillong Times. "We are developing a strategy of engaging the surrendered militants to tackle the HNLC militants in the border," said Meghalaya Director General of Police (DGP) S.B. Kakati on December 29. There are more than 150 surrendered HNLC militants who had narrated to the police in the past that majority of the HNLC cadres stay with Khasi villagers inside Bangladesh. The militants also assist the Khasi villagers in the betel nut plantations. A major disadvantage for the Meghalaya Police is its inability to build up an effective intelligence network along the border areas of the Khasi hills region where the HNLC has a significant presence. Unable to extort money from Shillong due to constant vigil of the Police, the HNLC militants are carrying out large scale extortion from the coal exporters in the remote borders, Police said. "We need effective co-ordination of the police forces of East Khasi Hills and the Jaintia Hills to tackle militant activities in the borders," said Kakati, adding that more forces will be deployed in the border to tackle insurgency related crimes. "We had deployed some personnel of the Special Operations Team (SOT) in East Khasi Hills border, but we did not have actionable intelligence about the attack on December 23 [killing of a coal trader]," the DGP said. Kakati also admitted that police were aware of the threat to the coal baron from HNLC through intelligence inputs but the slain coal trader's family members had not divulged anything.
