The former Bodo Liberation Tigers (BLT) militants of BLT Welfare Society presents a memorandum to the Union Government on August 10 and urged the Government to rein in the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), accusing it of creating terror in the region, according to Telegraph. In the memorandum to the Union Minister for Home Affairs P. Chidambaram through Kokrajhar Deputy Commissioner Carol Narzary, the former militants of the now defunct BLT said the NDFB was trying to destabilise the Bodo areas and put brakes on development. The memorandum said development in the Bodo belt was “moving fast in the right direction under Hagrama Mohilary” but there was a “counter campaign” against the “good work”. “The NDFB (ceasefire) and Ranjan Daimary fraction of NDFB are indulging in violence in the region to terrorise the people. In a diabolical design to destabilise the region, the NDFB is killing innocent people,” it added. The society also accused the Rabiram Narzary-led Bodoland Peoples Progressive Front (BPPF) of encouraging the NDFB in carrying out unlawful activities. Earlier, members of the ex-BLT Welfare Society took out a rally from Kadamtola Bodoland Secretariat ground to the Deputy Commissioner’s office in Kokrajhar town. Similar rallies were held in Chirang, Baksa and Udalguri Districts under the Bodo Territorial Council.

Quoting sources in the intelligence agencies, Shillong times has reported that the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) have already set up temporary hideouts in Bhutan, contrary to the claims made by Bhutan that Indian militants do not put their bases anymore in that country. This report from an Indian intelligence agency came in the backdrop of the claim at the Seventh Border Coordination Development Meeting held at Thimphu (Bhutan), which dismissed reports about the ULFA and NDFB militants setting up permanent camps on its soil. According to official sources in Guwahati, the ULFA and NDFB militants were reorganising and attempting to sneak into Bhutan. New Delhi has reportedly informed Thimphu of the intrusion of about 30 militants into its soil. "We have information that they (ULFA and NDFB) have set up temporary hideouts there in the wake of stepped up counter-insurgency operations, especially in Lower Assam," an officer from the Military Intelligence said.

Quoting Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, Assam Tribune reports that the situation in Assam, Manipur and Nagaland is worrisome. Inaugurating the Conference of Chief Ministers on Internal Security in Delhi on August 17, Dr. Singh said in the north-east there is an overall improvement but the situation in Assam, Manipur and Nagaland remains problematic and worrisome. In a remark on handling of the insurgency situation by the north eastern states, Union Home Minister, P Chidambaram questioned the practice of bending over backwards before the insurgents. “At times, we find that some State Governments have allowed themselves to bend before insurgent groups, making the fight against insurgency that much more difficult,” said the Home Minister, while making his opening remarks at the Conference of Chief Ministers on Internal Security here this morning. “I regret to say that I cannot report much progress in the north eastern states,” Chidambaram said. “I propose to hold discussions with the State Governments concerned and draw up State-specific strategies to deal with the insurgent groups in the three most affected States of Assam, Nagaland and Manipur,” Chidambaram. “In the last few months we have refined our policy stance: the law will be applied strictly; ceasefire agreements would be enforced in letter and spirit; and we will talk to any group only if that group abjures violence, lays down its arms and offers to surrender,” he added.

Telegraph reports that the pro-talks group of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) has sought an urgent discussion with the Assam Government as their cadres were getting frustrated after waiting for more than a year. "If we do not get a positive response, we will have to decide on our future course of action," Prabal Neog, a leader of the pro-talks faction, who has been camping in the capital Guwahati since August 19, told Telegraph. He said he would meet Principal Secretary (Home) S.C. Das as soon as he returns from Delhi. Neog said the cadres were frustrated and it had become difficult for the leaders to keep on convincing them that there would be some progress. He said several cadres have already deserted the designated camps in the past few months and a few have joined the ULFA while some have surrendered to the Security Forces. Jiten Dutta, another leader of the group, said the blame would rest entirely on the Government if talks failed this time and the cadres took some drastic steps. "We will not say now as to what we will do but we will take some decisive steps. The government has turned a deaf ear towards the issue. Despite repeated requests to clear its stand, there is simply no response from the government. This will be our final meeting with the government as we want to clear the air once and for all," he warned. The cadres of the pro-talks group are at present housed in three designated camps in the Tinsukia and Nalbari Districts.

At least 10 Marwari (a business community) families have deserted their homes and shops in the tea gardens of Sonitpur District and returned to Rajasthan fearing attacks by the NDFB, which had been serving extortion notes to the community for the past few months. The Secretary of the Dhekiajuli Marwari panchayat (group) in Sonitpur, Munna Chandak, said six businessmen and their families have left for their home State in the past 15 days. Four other families have fled from Rangapara. “Some other families are camping in Dhekiajuli town and looking for people to sell off their shops. They will leave for Rajasthan as soon as they can do so,” Chandak said. The business community of Dhekiajuli has faxed a memorandum to the Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Ghelot to take up the matter with the Assam Government. Almost every tea garden in Assam reportedly has at least one provision store run by the Marwaris. These stores sell a variety of items and cater to the labour community and managers alike. An official source said almost all the owners of garden stores have been served with extortion notices by the NDFB, especially in Sonitpur District, in the past few months. The exodus began soon after an employee of a departmental store at Sapai tea estate, Subash Das, was abducted on August 6.

Infiltration along the porous India-Bangladesh border has decreased after Indian insurgent groups have shifted their camps from border areas, the Border Security Force Inspector General (Assam and Meghalaya Frontier) Prithvi Raj said. “The concentration of camps of the militants along the border areas are decreasing following pressure from the Bangladesh Government which wants the militant outfits to dismantle their camps and minimise their activities. The militant outfits are now shifting their bases to China, Myanmar and Nepal. This has decreased the pressure of infiltration. But we cannot rule out the possibility of the militants entering India,” he added. “Of the total 564 km of border fencing sanctioned along the international border in the Assam-Meghalaya Frontier, the work has been completed in around 158 km… We are facing problems in about 270 km due to various reasons. But we are persuading the construction agencies to speed up the work,” he said.

Chetia, whose real name is Golap Baruah, has been in jail since his arrest in Dhaka in January 1998 from Shyamoli area under the Foreigners Act and the Passports Act.

Chetia has been seeking political asylum in Bangladesh or deportation to any country other than India but those petitions are pending.
