The Assam Government alerted security formations in North Cachar Hills District asking them not to be taken in by the BW’s unilateral cease-fire declaration, as it could be a ploy to launch strikes in retaliation to the arrest and killing of its top leaders. A source in the Government said Dispur has received no communiqué yet from the outfit declaring the three-month unilateral truce and as such, nothing had changed on the ground. David Dimasa, commander of the group’s “north zone”, who called up a few reporters last evening to announce the cease-fire, promised that the outfit would abjure violence, and asked the Government to consider its demands. “Operations are on irrespective of what has been reported by the media and the Security Forces are in a search-and-destroy mode,” an official said.

Quoting the Chief Minister of Assam Tarun Gogoi, Assam Tribune has reported that the Assam Government is going to continue with its operation against the Black Widow (BW) and not respond to the unilateral cease-fire announced by the outfit after the arrest of its ‘chairman’ Jewel Garlosa. The Chief Minister said the State and Union Governments are very clear about what they want and a gesture of three-month cease-fire would go unanswered from their side, unless the militant outfit agrees to adhere to the stringent pre-conditions. The pre-conditions include laying down of arms and ammunition, a complete halt to all illegal activities including collection of funds, extortion, abduction, confinement within the designated camps among others. He mentioned that almost all militant outfits, which have entered into cease-fire pacts with the Government, have violated it with impunity. The NDFB, United People’s Democratic Solidarity (UPDS) and Dima Halim Daogah (DHD) factions have all taken advantage of the cease-fire pacts and indulged in illegal activities like extortion, collection of taxes, gun running, bomb blasts and abductions, he added.

Assam Tribune reports that the Assam Governor S.C. Mathur has assumed powers of the North Cachar Hills Autonomous Council. The Governor took this decision following a meeting with the Chief Secretary, Commissioner-in-charge of Hill Areas Development of the Government of Assam and the Advocate General at the Raj Bhawan (Governor’s House). However, it is still not known whether the Council has been kept under suspension or dissolved. The Cabinet had earlier adopted a resolution asking the Governor to assume powers of the Council following the arrest of the Chief Executive Member (CEM) of the Council, Mohit Hojai, on charges of providing funds to militants belonging to the banned Black Widow (BW) outfit.

Quoting the confession of arrested Black Widow (BW) chief Jewel Gorlosa, Telegraph reports that bamboo trade in the North Cachar Hills was one of the major money-spinners for the outfit. A senior Police official said the BW on an average was extorting INR five millions per month from bamboo merchants in the District. "Following the interrogation of Jewel Gorlosa and other members and sympathisers of the BW, it has come to light that the outfit has extorted money to the tune of several millions of rupees from the bamboo suppliers over the years," he said. "Ransom collected from contractors engaged in the projects and bamboo traders, and diversion of development funds allocated to the North Cachar Hills Autonomous Council were the main sources of money for the BW," he added.

According to Assam Tribune, suspected Black widow (BW) militants shot dead 12 persons and set ablaze 20 houses in an attack at Michidui village under Haflong Police Station of North Cachar Hills District in the morning of June 16. Police sources said a group of armed militants attacked Michidui and opened indiscriminate fire killing 12 persons, including eight minors, on the spot. Two other persons were also injured in the attack. Police said the village, inhabited by Zeme Naga people, was abandoned following the recent incidents of ethnic clashes and the villagers had taken shelter near a camp of the Assam Rifles camp located around three kilometers away. But recently, the villagers had started going back to the village during day time for cultivation and the militants reportedly took advantage of the situation to attack them.

In the State, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) released the sketch of John Mizo alias Shambhu Pradhan, the most wanted gun-runner responsible for supplying arms and ammunition to various Northeast based militant groups, especially the Black widow (BW) outfit, reports Assam Tribune. John, who operates from Mizoram and Meghalaya, is wanted in connection with several cases pertaining to arms dealing, besides the case registered by NIA to probe the hidden nexus between politicians and militant groups. John, according to Police, is the person who was to be paid INR ten million that was recovered from two BW militants along the Assam-Meghalaya border on April 1. The BW had already received a consignment of over 60 rifles of AK series in the aforementioned deal. The Additional Superintendent of Police of the Special Task Force, Manabendra Deb Rai, who along with a few other Assam Police officials has been inducted into the investigation team as support staff of the NIA, released the sketch of the arms dealer.

The Nagaland Home Minister, Imkong L. Imchen, said on June 16 that apart from the five Naga groups, ten non-Naga militant outfits based outside the Sate are active in Nagaland and indulge in extortion, abduction and other anti-social activities, according to Nagaland Page. The Minister said these groups are operating in Nagaland in connivance with the Naga outfits. The non-Naga groups are Nunisa faction of the Dima Halim Daogah (DHD), Black Widow (BW), Kuki Revolutionary Army (KRA), People’s Liberation Army (PLA), United People’s Democratic Solidarity (UPDS), Gurkha Liberation Army (GLA), People’s United Liberation Front (PULF), All Adivasi National Liberation Army (AANLA), National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) and United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA). Nagaland has five local outfits: the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM), National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K), and the three Naga National Council (NNC) groups. The Home Minister said apart from these outfits there are several outfits that are also operating in Nagaland. So far 10 ULFA cadres, two Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP) cadres, 13 KRA cadres, one People's Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK) cadre, 31 UPDS cadres, eight PLA cadres, eight PULF cadres, one GLA cadre and 67 cadres of other non-local Northeast outfits have been arrested in the State in 2009. All the arrested militants were booked under National Security Act, with special exemption of Naga cadres of the Naga groups, due to cease-fire between the Centre and these groups. Most of these militant outfits are active in and around Dimapur, the nerve centre of crime and anti-social activities. Imchen said the Naga groups are harbouring the non-local militants and collecting illegal taxes from business establishments and shops. He said despite the Government's best effort to curb the menace of extortion it is still very high.

In the State, the ULFA called a 12-hour Assam bandh (general shut down) from 5 am (IST) of June 25 for the alleged killing of cadres of ULFA, NDFB and Black Widow (BW) outfit in custody of the SFs, reports Assam Tribune. In a press release issued on June 22, the ULFA chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa alleged that recently two members of the 28th battalion of the ULFA – Debojit Chetia and Durlav Bora - were killed in Nagaon in a “fake encounter”. He said that both the ULFA members were arrested on June 10 near Karbi Anglong and were later shot dead. The ULFA chairman also alleged that in June 2009 17 NDFB cadres were killed and most of them were killed while they were in the custody of the SFs. He further alleged that BW cadre Frankie Dimasa was also killed after he was picked up by the troops. Rajkhowa said that instead of trying to find political solution to the problems, the Government has been trying to deal with the situation with force.

The 12-hour Assam bandh (shut down) called by the ULFA on June 25 in protest against what it alleged custodial deaths of the ULFA, NDFB and Black Widow (BW) cadres during the past few months, evoked mixed response, reports Assam Tribune. In Guwahati, the bandh had a mixed response, with most of the shops and business establishments downing their shutters and commercial vehicles remaining off the roads, but private vehicles continued to ply. The bandh was, however, total and peaceful in most parts of the State.

There have also been reports that a few Black Widow militants have managed to go to Bangladesh along with cadres of the anti-talks faction of the NDFB.
