Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) on March 10, threatened to carry out serial blasts in all five Districts of the Garo Hills region if Security Forces (SFs) were not withdrawn, reports The Assam Tribune. The outfit further threatened the Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Church elders blaming them for the offensive launched by the Police. The statement comes in the wake of the Police announcing the continuance of ‘Operation Hillstorm – 3’ for three months to flush out militants from Garo Hills region. In a statement, GNLA publicity ‘secretary’, Garo Mandei Marak, threatened, “If Government of Meghalaya doesn’t withdraw or stop the ongoing Operation Hillstorm 3 against GNLA, then we will push the buttons for serial blasts in all the five districts of Garo Hills.” The outfit also threatened the Inspector General of Police (IGP) leading the ‘Operation Hillstorm’, GHP Raju, Chief Minister Mukul Sangma, along with NGOs and Church elders stating that the leaders would have to bear responsibility for the loss of life and property that will take place. “They are the ones who called upon GNLA to gather together at Durama Hills to come forward for peace talks. This gave the opportunity for the government for the Operation Hillstorm 3 to be launched,” said Marak. “We have observed in the past too that the NGOs and Church leaders are inviting the militants to come forward for “Peace talks” and ask our cadres to either surrender or give up our struggle,” the release added. The outfit further warned that the families, relatives, NGOs, Church leaders that were leading their cadres to surrender before the government would have to face dire consequences.

Meghalaya Chief Minister (CM) Mukul Sangma on March 11 asserted in the State Assembly that the Centre must take care of the international borders and stop illegal smuggling of arms and ammunition by militants, reports The Shillong Times. Summing up the debate on the Governor’s address, the CM said that it is only with the active involvement of the Centre and the support of various governments in the Northeast that the problem of infiltration of arms and ammunition to Meghalaya and the rest of the region can be stopped. Sangma said that many splinter groups sprang up in Garo Hills due to easy availability of sophisticated arms. “There are too many guns available at throw away prices. The recent recovery of spares of anti-aircraft gun in Garo Hills, explosives and IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) procured from too many sources is alarming,” the CM said.According to the CM, the trend is that militants procure new consignments after selling their old weapons at cheaper rates. “The easy availability of sophisticated arms is a cause of concern; both the Centre and the Northeast governments should actively participate to contain the trend,” Sangma said. Commenting on the statement of Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) that it will resort to serial blasts to stop operations, the CM said that sustained efforts through operations are meant to exert pressure on the outfits.On the suggestion that there should be unconditional talks with the militants, the CM said that with both GNLA and Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) continuing with their anti-national stands, talks cannot be held. “We had firmly stated that outfits should refrain from anti-national activities. The ban extended against HNLC was mainly due to its anti-national stand by way of calling bandhs on days of national importance,” the CM said. According to the CM, the militants are welcome to hold stalks soon after they stop calling bandhs during Republic Day and Independence Day celebrations.

South Garo HillsPolice had two close encounters with Garo rebel outfits, Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) and A’chik Songna An’pachakgipa Kotok (ASAK), in two separate incidents on March 12, leading to the recovery of a pistol, a communication set and other items, reports The Shillong Times. The first encounter took place at Dilnegre village of Gasuapara that leads towards Chokpot interior in the District. Militants taking shelter in the village opened fire on the Police team leading to an exchange of fire for close to eight minutes after which the militants fled into the forests. Sources said a ten-member armed GNLA team was taking shelter when the raid took place. They reportedly had three AK rifles and two INSAS rifles, besides small arms. One of the militants who fled has been identified as Chandra who is in the wanted list of the Police. From the encounter site a pistol with six live rounds along with a country-made gun and two mobile phones were recovered.An hour later another Police team scouting the forests of Rongdotchigre village under Baghmara Police Station in the District, came across a cadre of the ASAK outfit who had been sent by ASAK militant ‘chief’ Reding T Sangma to bring some food from the village. Seeing the Police teams, the cadre abandoned his leader’s meal as well as a high frequency communication handset and ran down the slopes of the village and escaped. Police believe the wanted militant leader was holed up deep in the jungle not far from the village when the encounter with his cadre took place.

The banned Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) slammed Chief Minister (CM) Mukul Sangma for his statement during the budget session of the Assembly in which he had stated that the HNLC is indulging in unlawful activities by calling shutdowns on Republic day and Independence day, reports The Sentinel. “Our leadership is fed up with the same statements repeatedly issued by the government of Meghalaya and the Chief Minister,” Sainkupar Nongtraw, publicity secretary of HNLC said in a statement in Shillong on March 13. Pointing out that the government wants them to show their sincerity for peace talks, he said, “Yes we agree, but the government should come out clear on the peace initiative within a month from issuing this statement.” “If the outcome is positive (Including appointment of interlocutors) then, this year August 15, we shall not boycott Independence Day celebrations, and prove that we are sincere and committed,” he said. Admitting to the unlawful activities, he said, “Yes we call for boycott during Independence Day and Republic Day celebrations, but we have not engaged ourselves in killing and kidnapping like it happens in other parts of the state.”

Meghalaya Home MinisterRoshan Warjri on March 14, revealed that the Security Force (SF) personnel have to tread cautiously during the ongoing ‘Operation Hillstorm-3’ as recently the suspected Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) militants had planted Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) all over Durama Hills, reports The Shillong Times. Replying to a cut motion moved by the Opposition members against fund allotment to purchase arms and ammunition and vehicles, the Home Minister said in the Assembly that to check the advancing SF personnel to Durama Hills, the militants had planted several IEDs there. “Police had recovered as many as 70 IEDs”, the Home Minister said, while adding that the sustained operations by the security personnel will continue.Meanwhile, reacting to the statement made by Meghalaya Chief Minister (CM) Mukul Sangma in the Assembly recently, the infamous Garo Mandei of GNLA has challenged what proof he has with regard to his claims about outfit chief, Sohan D Shira during his rehabilitation at Mayiong in Shillong, reports The Shillong Times. In a statement issued in Tura on March 14, Garo Mandei was all praises for Sohan and instead accused the CM of working together with the leaders of the Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC) to harass him and eventually driving him back into the jungles. “He was well established in different lines of business but the leaders of the ANVC couldn’t accept his success ultimately taking away his legal sources of income (businesses) and even trying to eliminate him. Sohan, knowing all this disposed off all the weapons, ammunition, etc to Late Peter Marak [founder and chairman of Liberation of Achik Elite Force (LAEF)] with whom he later joined up to strengthen the LAEF. But Peter Marak was arrested at Jorabat and was brought to Garo Hills where he died in a fake encounter,” he said.

The disbanding ceremony for United A'chik Liberation Army (UALA), which was slated for this week in Meghalaya, was postponed on March 30, as the outfit sought more time from the government to bring all its cadres together, reports The Telegraph. In December 2015, the outfit had signed a formal peace pact with the state government and the disbanding was scheduled for February, 2016 and then postponed to March, 2016. However, an emergent meeting was held at circuit house in Tura with the officials of Police and District Administration, which was attended by the outfit's ‘chairman’ Novembirth Ch. Marak, ‘commander-in-chief’ Norok X. Momin and ‘general secretary’ Nagra Marak, amongst others. The meeting on March 30, holds significance, as ‘commander-in-chief’ Norok attended the talks for the first time. He had remained absent during the signing of the peace pact as well, citing health issues, which had raised fears that Norok might not join the peace talks. "His presence at the meeting today shows UALA's sincerity towards the peace talks. They have sought additional time for the disbanding ceremony, as they have not been able to establish contact with their cadres, who are spread across Garo hills," said Pravin Bakshi, Deputy Commissioner of West Garo Hills and Chairman of the disbanding ceremony for UALA. The outfit has strength of 70 cadres. About 25 cadres have come forward and are camping on Baljek airport premises, near Jengjal in West Garo Hills, which has been designated as a "transit camp". Bakshi said the disbanding is likely to take place in May, 2016, though the date for the ceremony has not been fixed.
