According to Telegraph, Nirmal Konwar, ‘second-in-command of the 27 battalion’ of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), confessed that the outfit is now carrying out only operation-specific recruitment, where a person is assigned a single task and has no links with the outfit thereafter.

The ‘eastern commander’ of the Liberation of Achik Elite Force (LAEF), identified as Daria Sangma, denied reports about the death of its ‘chief’ Darong Marak at the hands of a former cadre, and said that he was very much alive and safe, reports Shillong Times. "Our leader is not in Garo Hills, but inside Bangladesh overseeing the operational command of the outfit. Police claims are completely false," said Sangma. The East Garo Hills district police and the Army, during a joint operation, had earlier arrested a LAEF militant, Walter Sangma, from Bajengdoba area following a tip off that the militant had fled the outfit after killing his own chief. The LAEF's ‘eastern commander’ claimed that Walter Sangma deserted the outfit shortly after the killing of the former ‘chairman’ Peter Marak and had never met Darong Marak. Meanwhile, the East Garo Hills district police informed that Walter Marak revealed during interrogation that Darong had indeed been killed, but, not by him. He, however, could not identify the man who killed Darong.

Shillong Times quoting Meghalaya Police reports that the Liberation of Achik Elite Force (LAEF) has forged ties with the Assam based Black Widow (BW) outfit. Meanwhile, the LAEF's new 'commander-in-chief' Daria Sangma while speaking to media persons over phone on May 28 said that it was in the interest of consolidating LAEF to pursue its goal of a ‘separate Garo state’. The report added that a group of five LAEF cadres recently returned from arms training organised by the BW in Assam. Daria also said the Garo outfit had recently held a general council meeting in West Khasi Hills in which he was appointed the new army chief in the presence of LAEF ‘chairman’ Darong T. Marak who, according to police, had been killed by his own colleagues long ago. The LAEF general council meeting is said to have also appointed one Khanam D. Shira as ‘general secretary’ of the outfit, besides a former Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC) cadre Nikseng Sangma holding an important portfolio within the group. Nikseng had deserted the ANVC and joined with former ANVC 'eastern area commander' Sohan D. Shira to help the LAEF during the early days of its formation. Following the killing of the then ‘chairman’ Peter Marak in the hands of police and subsequent surrender of Sohan before the government, Nikseng reportedly fled into the LAEF stronghold of West Khasi Hills. Daria also told the media that the general council meeting had taken up several resolutions one of which was to turn ‘pro-active’ in its operations against certain organisations aligning with the government to wipe out the outfit.

Surrendered cadres of the Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC) on May 29 asked the Meghalaya Government to provide them with recruitment in 5th India Reserve Battalion and monetary assistance. They also alleged that the former State Government did not have the commitment to rehabilitate all surrendered insurgents. They said that the previous D.D.

The former ANVC cadres have sought Government jobs for at least 25 of them and financial assistance for the others to start their own entrepreneurship.

Intelligence sources said on May 31 that seven former Naga insurgents, who deserted the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN–IM) and National Socialist Council of Nagaland - Khaplang (NSCN-K), continued to maintain links with the Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) and Liberation of Achik Elite Force (LAEF) to extort money from coal exporters and other traders in the coal belts of West Khasi Hills and Garo Hills, reports Shillong Times. "The Naga men normally go back to their State after collecting huge amount of money through extortion in Meghalaya," the sources said. Intelligence sources also said that former NSCN cadres involved in extortion in Meghalaya were planning to form a new militant outfit that could be more powerful than the NSCN-IM and NSCN-K. Many coal exporters from and outside the State have incurred huge losses due to the ongoing extortion drive jointly launched by cadres of the NSCN, HNLC and LAEF. Militants’ threat is reported to have forced several coal exporters to leave the coal belt areas recently. There were reports that the Tripura-based National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) was supporting the HNLC's extortion drive in the district where coal exporters and managers of various cement plants were made to pay money to militants.
