The Union Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs headed by the Prime Minister is examining the final peace settlement with the Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC) and the Breakaway faction of ANVC (ANVC-B). A State Home department official said that after the clearance from the Political Affairs Committee, the matter will be brought to the Union Cabinet for consideration. “We hope to get a favorable outcome from the Centre within a month,” the official added. The draft documents related to the peace pact were earlier circulated to relevant Central ministries including the Home Affairs to get their comments. However, there was undue delay in reaching a final settlement coupled with a faction of ANVC-B led by Singbirth Marak alias Norrok X Momin forming the United A’chik Liberation Army (UALA). Asked about any hurdle due to the presence of various factions of the ANVC, the official said that the final peace settlement will be with all the factions of the ANVC and added that the Government hopes that all the groups under ANVC will come under the settlement. It was in January in Shillong, ahead of the Assembly elections in the State, that the Government had signed a draft peace pact with both the ANVC and the ANVC-B. The outcome of the meet was that the Government and the ANVC mutually agreed to strengthen and expand the Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC) after the militant outfit had scaled down from their earlier demands of formation of a separate Garo state and also constitution of Garoland Autonomous Council (GAC) in line with Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC).

The Breakaway faction of Achik National volunteer Council (ANVC-B) has asked the State and the Central Government to expedite the final peace settlement with the outfit and all its breakaway factions, according to a report of May 8. ANVC-B leader Rimpu Marak said that the delay in finalizing the peace pact may lead to the possibility of emergence of other militant outfits. “The earlier the solution, the better it is for ensuring peace in the State,” he said. It may be mentioned that Norrok X Momin, who was earlier a part of the ANVC-B, deserted the outfit and formed the United A’chik Liberation Army (UALA) recently. The Union Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs headed by the Prime Minister is currently examining the final peace settlement.

A cadre of Breakaway faction of Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC-B) identified as Wesfield C Marak alias Dakchak was arrested by the Police while he was extorting money from traders of Williamnagar market in East Garo Hills District on May 10. A pistol, ammunition and INR 60,000 were recovered from him. However, though the cadre told the Police that he was a member of ANVC-B, the ANVC-B ‘Chairman’, Rimpu Marak has said that Dakchak is not ANVC-B but he belonged to the United Achik Liberation Army (UALA) led by Norrok (who recently broke away from ANVC-B).

A former ‘commander’ of the Breakaway faction of Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC-B) Singbirth Marak alias Norrok X Momin has claimed that he was witness to the handing over of three sophisticated weapons to the outfit by Meghalaya Police in East Garo Hills District several months ago to take on the GNLA outfit. Norrok, who is presently the ‘commander-in-chief’ of the newly formed Garo outfit United A’chik Liberation Army (UALA), ‘dared’ Meghalaya Police and the ANVC-B leadership to prove their innocence into the alleged allegiance. “Then Circle Inspector of Williamnagar, TC Chacko, had handed over two AK-56 and one AK-47 rifles to Rimpu Marak when he was part of the main ANVC and we were witness to it. These weapons were then handed over to ANVC-B ‘commander-in-chief’ Mukosh and remains with him in Moskhoila area,” alleged Norrok X Momin in an exclusive statement to The Shillong Times. He also said that the entire dealing had the ‘blessings’ of the Government which focused on eliminating the GNLA while on the other hand allowed the ANVC-B to thrive by indulging in extortion that continues to this day.

The Shillong Times reports on May 22 that militants of the United A’chik Liberation Army (UALA) had reportedly ordered the closure of the Darangdura coal mine in Nangalbibra, South Garo Hills on the same day they had masterminded the killing of five labourers on May 20 afternoon. South Garo Hills Police said that the militants came down to the mine in the morning ordering its closure reportedly over ‘extortion demands’ and later returned to commit the cold blooded killings when few laborers were still found present on the mining site. Meanwhile, the five labourers who were shot dead have been identified as Hobibul Ali, Anwar Ali, Mokidur Islam, Rizabul Ali and Motalif. They hailed from Goalpara District of Assam.

The Shillong Times reports that in a shocking incident relating to militancy and extortion, five coal labourers were reportedly shot dead by armed militants in the afternoon of May 20 in retaliation for the quarry owner’s failure to pay up extortion money on time in Nangalbibra region of South Garo Hills District. The armed group is said to have served demand notes on coal mine owners throughout Nangalbibra region in the month of April and amounts ranging from INR 500000 to INR 10 million has been demanded by the outfit. The militants came to the quarry campus and pushed the labourers to one corner before opening fire on them from their automatic rifles resulting in the death of five workers and injury to many more. The full report on the attack and the number of casualties is expected only by May 21 (today) morning due to the remoteness of the region which has no proper vehicular road and mobile telecommunication network. Meanwhile, primary suspect remains the newly formed United Achik Liberation Army (UALA) headed by one Norrok X Momin. The UALA was formed after Norrok X Momin parted ways with the Breakaway faction of Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC-B) to form the new outfit.

The Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) has sought a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into the alleged creation of ANVC-B with the ‘blessings of the Meghalaya Government and the State Police’. The political secretary of GNLA, Bikdot Nikjang, on May 21, said that with the UALA ‘commander-in-chief’ Singbirth Marak alias Norrok X Momin revealing that the Police and the Meghalaya Government provided arms to ANVC-B to take on the GNLA, the Government should order a high level probe into the incident. “It has now come to the fore that the ANVC (B) was the creation of some politicians from Garo Hills, who are at the helm of affairs, and the Police to eliminate GNLA,” the political secretary of GNLA claimed. The UALA chief recently made a statement to the media that he was witness to the handing over of three sophisticated weapons to ANVC-B by Meghalaya Police with the blessings of the Meghalaya Government in East Garo Hills District several months ago to take on the GNLA outfit.

The Deputy Commissioner of South Garo Hills, Chinmay P Gotmare, on May 22, ruled out any magisterial inquiry into the recent incident where militants killed five labourers in a coal mine at Nangalbibra. “I do not see any reason for any magisterial inquiry as it is a clear case of militant attack and we suspect it to be the handiwork of the UALA,” Gotmare said. According to the Deputy Commissioner, the attack is a tactic of the UALA to terrorize people so that they can extort.

Breakaway faction of Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC-B) ‘chairman’ Rimpu Marak on May 24 denied that there is any new recruitment going on in the ANVC-B and maintained that there are no minor cadres with the outfit, reports Shillong Times. “We have no minor cadres. No new recruitment is going on in the ANVC-B camp. We have been waiting for the official procedure for the final peace settlement, but nothing seems to be taking place,” Marak said in a statement. Earlier, there were reports that after former ANVC-B leader Singbirth N Marak alias Norrok X Momin, who formed the United Achik Liberation Army (UALA) after taking away many of the ANVC-B cadres, Rimpu Marak began recruiting cadres to add strength to the militant outfit. Further, the photograph released by the ANVC-B on May 23 raised suspicions on whether ANVC-B has roped in minors & girls to add to its strength.

Nagaland Post reports that the Breakaway faction of the A’chik National Volunteers Council (ANVC-B) has raised a women’s militant wing to ‘fight’ crime against women. “We are Garo women joining the ANVC (B) to be safe. Many women are raped outside, but the ANVC (B) is safe for women and we are trained to defend ourselves from men,” said Silan Ginchi Marak, the women’s ‘military wing chief’ of ANVC-B on May 25. The women rebels, numbering around 300, are located in two undisclosed camps at Garo Hills in western Meghalaya. Meghalaya Government statistics reveal that in 2012, 236 crimes were reported against women, of which 158 were rapes. Ginchi Marak also revealed that the United Achik Liberation Army (UALA) leader, Norrok alias Singbirth Marak is determined to kill them but she asserted that the cadres are ready to fight Norrok’s men, ‘though neither the police nor the Government is helping them’, adds The Shillong Times. In an earlier statement, the ANVC-B had made it clear that Norrok was a coward aiming to kill ANVC-B women cadres.

The Centre has made it clear that it would not talk to any more splinter militant groups in future, The Shillong Times reported on May 27. The annual report of Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) for 2012-13 said that the Government was ready to hold talks with any group or outfit which is willing to abjure violence, lay down arms and agree to abide by the Constitution of India. “However, if there is a splinter group in future, then Government will not consider talking to them,” the report said. The militancy scenario in Meghalaya reveals that the members of existing three militant groups in Garo Hills, Garo national Liberation Army (GNLA), Breakaway faction of the A’chik National Volunteers Council (ANVC-B) and United Achik Liberation Army (UALA) were once part and parcel of the mother organization ANVC which is currently under ceasefire. While the current ‘commander-in-chief’ of GNLA, Sohan Shira was the ‘area commander’ of ANVC, the ‘chairman’ of ANVC-B, Rimpu Marak was the ‘spokesperson’ of ANVC. Further, the present ‘commander-in-chief’ of UALA was a senior ANVC-B cadre.
