A Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) report has stated that militancy in the Northeast is on the decline, with Tripura and Mizoram emerging as the most peaceful states in the region, reports Nagaland Post on February 19. According to the report, the seven states in the northeast registered 308 militancy-related cases last year, down from 484 in 2016. The trend has been a downward one. In 2015, there were 574 insurgency-related cases reported while the year before that registered a staggering 824 such incidents. Manipur, with 167 cases reported last year, was found to be the most disturbed state, primarily owing to the activities of Coordination Committee (CorCom), a conglomeration of six Manipur-based militant outfits. The resurgence of Independent faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-I) and Saoraigwra faction of National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-S) caused more disruptions in Arunachal, which registered the second highest militant activity with 61 incidents, than in Assam, which reported 33. Meghalaya and Nagaland registered 28 and 19 militancy-related incident last year.

Moreover, Meghalaya Director General of Police (DGP) stated that evidence to the killing of the NCP candidate points to the role of the GNLA outfit and said credible leads are being obtained, reports The Shillong Times on February 20. While clearly indicating the role of GNLA, DGP also voiced concern over the presence of surrendered rebels in the company of the slain politician. He also added that they were seeking more Paramilitary Forces from the Government of India.In addition, DGP also added that standard security procedures were allegedly not followed by the NCP candidate leading to the attack. The NCP candidate is said to have informed district authorities about his election campaign meetings for a few select villages in Samanda block. But, he reportedly overstepped his area of campaign by going deeper into the remote region where previous militant activities have taken place. DGP also added that ‘It is a known fact that GNLA ‘commander-in-chief’ Sohan Shira has been targeting former members of his group who surrendered to authorities. Last year’s killing of their surrendered finance secretary Rakkam Shira and former ‘action commander’ Kamdat are examples of the outfit’s intention’.
