the Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC) which is on a tripartite ceasefire agreement with the Government of India and the Government of Meghalaya is heading for a split. Sources said that Mukost Marak will take over as the ‘commander in chief’ of the new faction while Rimpu Barnard N Marak will be its new ‘chairman’ and Dilseng the ‘general secretary’. It is learnt that Barnard Marak was collecting arms as Dilash Marak, the ‘Chairman’ of the ANVC has stopped supplying them with arms. The split comes as a result of the dissatisfaction in a section of cadres at the lukewarm response of the Government of India to the ANVC demand for a Garoland Autonomous Council along the lines of the Bodoland Autonomous Council which in many ways is a State within a State.

Growing ties between the Anti-Talk-Faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-ATF) and GNLA have become matter of serious concern for the Government of Meghalaya as well as for the Security agencies, reports The Assam Tribune. Highly placed Police sources told The Assam Tribune that ULFA-ATF have been providing help to the GNLA for its own benefits. Senior member of the ULFA-ATF, Drishti Rajkhowa is now believed to be in the hideouts of the GNLA in the jungles of Garo Hills. Rajkhowa also visits Bangladesh from time to time by taking advantage of the porous international border, but after the crackdown launched by the Government of Bangladesh; he started staying mostly in Garo Hills. Sources said that the ULFA-ATF is helping the GNLA mainly to keep a corridor open for going to the hideouts in Bangladesh.

Large patches of unfenced border with Bangladesh in Meghalaya are still encouraging movement of militants and there is urgent need for expediting the work of completing the fencing to check the menace, reports The Assam Tribune.

Sources said that the militants belonging to the GNLA are still taking advantage of the unfenced border to move to their hideouts in Bangladesh. Though the Government of Bangladesh has been taking action against the militants staying in that country, the GNLA is still maintaining its bases in the neighboring country.
