The whereabouts of coal dealer and Church elder Dinar Syiemlieh, who was abducted from Borsora in South West Khasi Hills (SWKH) District on December 3, is still unknown, reports The Shillong Times on December 7. Concerned over the matter, the Meghalaya Mine Owners and Exporters Association and State Co-ordination Committee of Coal Owners, Miners and Dealers Forum have appealed to the abductors to release him unharmed. In a joint statement issued on December 6, the coal bodies said that it is a matter of concern that there are frequent abductions of people including their members for ransom. The organizations appealed to the abductors of Syiemlieh, who hails from Kulang, to release him unconditionally. They also said that Syiemlieh is suffering from ailments related to thyroid and asthma. The Khasi Students Union (KSU), SWKH unit, meanwhile, urged the abductors to release Syiemlieh before December 10. The KSU also decided to go ahead with the public meeting slated to be held on December 10 at Mawkyrwat, to oppose the abductions and harassment meted out to the people of Mawkyrwat by the Garo militants. In a statement issued to the press, KSU’s SWKH unit general secretary, Forwardman Nongrem alleged that Garo militants are involved in the abduction of Syiemlieh. The KSU leader also reportedly said that “they are prepared to fight the Garo militants”.

Garo militant outfits like the Liberation of Achik Elite Force (LAEF) are no longer dependent on imparting arms training for its cadres inside the forests of Garo Hills and are now dispatching them in groups all the way to Myanmar where Naga rebels from the Khaplang faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K) enroll them in their jungle camps and provide them with the necessary expertise on guerilla warfare, reports The Shillong Times. This revelation came to the fore with the surrender of one such trained cadre who gave himself up to Police in North Garo Hills on December 7, just days after his return from that country. Waljit M Sangma (24) of Medu Apal village in Bajengdoba region of North Garo Hills surrendered at Resubelpara. He had joined the LAEF in the month of August, last year. Garo Hills Police have obtained crucial evidence that the LAEF outfit, formed by a former Police commando, had been regularly sending fresh recruits to Myanmar through the Nagaland route to undertake arms training in the NSCN-K camps. The LAEF cadre Waljit was part of one such group which had undergone such training. Waljit was to join a command of the outfit in the Garo Hills region. Police are not ruling out the presence of more foreign returnee cadres inside Garo Hills who are believed to have crossed back the Nagaland border sometime in the middle of November before making their way into Garo Hills through the normal travelling route. Since they do not come back with arms these young boys are able to escape the police dragnet during routine security checks on public transport. One of the key leaders of the group who arranged the foreign jaunt for the young recruits was LAEF chairman Kelwin Sangma who was arrested by Assam Police in October this year, along with two cadres of the Tripura based National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) outfit.

The AMEF was formed by Ex- Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) deserter and ex- A’chik Songna An’pachakgipa Kotok (ASAK) ‘finance secretary’ Jack Marak who was killed in an encounter on the May 1, last. Following his death, Timudh D Marak took over the mantle along with Sengjan Arengh before facing the heat of the Police operations and public pressure for indulging in abductions and extortions in part of North Garo Hills, East Garo Hills and West Khasi Hills District. Talking to reporters after the formal surrendering ceremony, the surrendered leaders of the militant outfit said that Police operations that led to arrest and killings, surrenders besides desertion by the cadres prompted them to abandon the path of violence. Interestingly, the disclosure made by the two leaders clearly indicated that there is no more centralized command within the outfit. “There are at least three groups functioning on their own respective way before we came out,” stated Senjan Arengh while denying of having any role in ordering the series of abduction for ransom in the recent past. Even as he divulged that there are thirty odd cadres with unknown number of weapons functioning under three different leaders, the surrendered AMEF militants term the money for sustaining themselves as goodwill donation of some businessmen. They were part of all the strategies till the Police tactical operations forced them to come unconditionally come over ground, stated a well place police official who was involved in forcing these two self style leaders come over ground. DGP Rajeev said, “Its public pressure that added to the quantum of our efforts and it’s a matter of time that the other AMEF cadres will come over ground”.

North Garo Hills Police on December 12, recovered a highly decomposed body partially buried in a shallow grave which is believed to be that of abducted Police Constable Khomraj Bhattarai in Tapa Darengchi area, of North Garo Hills District, reports The Shillong Times. Bhattarai was returning to his duty after availing a home leave when armed Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) militants stopped the commercial winger vehicle he was travelling on and took him away on November 6. They dragged away Bhattarai and the handyman of the winger, Muslo Hussain, who happened to drive the vehicle on that day. The handyman, who was separated from Bhattarai soon after the abduction, was released unharmed twenty days later. Bhattarai was a Head Constable (Havildar) in the Sixth Meghalaya Police (MLP) battalion and was going to his place of posting in Songsak to resume his duties. The GNLA had tried to distance itself from the incident by issuing a press statement soon after the abduction blaming other groups and criminal gangs for the abduction. Despite their denial, Police had identified ‘area commander’ Pilliport D Shira’s group to be the mastermind of the abduction and subsequent execution of the unarmed Policeman.

The Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) on December 17 asked for restraint from Khasi non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as well as the proscribed Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) even as it claimed that abductions in Garo Hills in Meghalaya seem to be the handiwork of dacoit groups and not of any militant group, reports Northeast Today. “Jumping to hasty conclusions without proper information just because police has put a blame based on suspicion is uncalled for”, said the GNLA publicity secretary, Gantong Marak while referring to abductions of a Khasi coal businessman from West Khasi Hills (WKH) District. The abductions have led to tensions between the communities with the HNLC as well as other NGOs threatening to strike back at the Garo community. “This will create a negative assumption on our community when the fact is actually not confirmed that it is the work of Garo militants”, added Marak issuing a press communiqué. “There are crooks, a mixture of all communities going about committing all kinds of crimes. So why blame only one? Many dacoits take advantage in the name of HNLC, GNLA and other militants groups, be it for abduction, extortion or killing people for ransom,” he added.

the United A’chik Liberation Army (UALA) cadres, who have joined the peace process, will be deemed to be surrendered cadres to facilitate the extension of appropriate rehabilitation package after the disbanding of the outfit, as per the Agreed Text of Settlement signed between the State Government and UALA on December 18, reports The Shillong Times on December 23. As per the agreement, the cadres will stay in the transit rehabilitation camp designated by the State Government. Once they stay, they will abide by the ground rules framed for the conduct in such camps. While the routine administration of camps will be in the hands of State Government, the nominated Security Forces (SFs) will regulate the movement of cadres at the camps, according to the agreement. The agreement said that on an agreed date, UALA will bring genuine cadres of the outfit at the designated camps along with weapons in their possessions and disband the organization. “UALA should declare the cadre strength with actual names, aliases, ranks in the organizations, year of recruitment and complete address”, the agreement said. Moreover, the verification of all such cadres and leaders will be done by the state authorities after disbanding. UALA should declare its weapons, ammunition, explosives, combat stores and hand over them to the state government before disbanding. The agreement stipulates that the cadres will be provided with various sorts of counseling in the camps to be followed by suitable rehabilitation package in terms of capacity building and sustainable livelihood programmes. Another clause in the agreement is that UALA will be dealt with the provisions of existing schemes for surrender-cum-rehabilitation package in the Northeastern states as notified by political department on July 2, 2009. The agreement also made it clear that the security forces will not launch operations against UALA if they abide by the agreement. Moreover, the Government will examine the status of all the criminal cases involving leaders and cadres. “Such persons will be subjected to due process of law with regard to FIRs filed against them. However, non- heinous cases may be withdrawn with the approval of the competent courts”, the agreement said.

In spite of the series of success against the antinational and criminal elements, Meghalaya Director General of Police (DGP) Rajeev Mehta on December 31, categorically stated that there are still many tasks left to be accomplished by the state Police, reports The Sentinel. The virtual wiping out of the A'chik Matgrik Elite Force (AMEF), the unconditional surrender of the United A’chik Liberation Army (UALA) in the past two months is considered to be an achievement. “We still have an incomplete task of bringing about long lasting peace in Garo Hills and the rest of the State”, the DGP said. He expressed hope that the policy adopted by the Police department is expected to reap benefit by next year. Asked on whether it will be in the form of ruthless operations or diplomacy that the police department will adopt in completing the unfinished task, Mehta said, “I am not going to divulge anything but our force will go all out to bring peace”. The proscribed Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) led by Sohan D Shira is a militant group to be reckon with. Acknowledging the reality, Mehta said that the sustained pressure on the groups in all formats will be carried out to pin them down till a point of surrender.
