The Assam Tribune reports on May 1 that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Assam received training in handling of weapons in Jharkhand and jungles of Arunachal Pradesh and efforts are on by the rebels to spread their bases to other parts of the North East region. Highly placed sources in the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) told The Assam Tribune that though the threat to the security of the North East region by the Maoist rebels cannot be considered very serious, the threat should not be overlooked as setting up of armed wing proved that the Maoists have reasonably strong bases in the State. Sources revealed that according to information available with the security agencies, the total number of armed cadres of the Maoists in Assam should be around 40. Sources said that the total number of overground activists of the Maoists in Assam is estimated to be around 150 and they work in different capacities to earn their livelihood and work for the Maoists. They have been given the responsibility of working among the people to address issues like anti mega dam movement, problems of the ethnic groups and tea tribes, problems of the people displaced by floods and erosion etc, to strengthen their base among the people. The efforts of the Maoists to increase bases in the North East region is now looked after by Prashant Bose, who is the second in command of the Maoist rebels and in charge of the Eastern region. Sources further said that there is every possibility of declaration of two Districts of Assam as Left Wing Extremism (LWE) Affected Districts so that the Districts are eligible to receive special development funds from the Government of India.

The All BTC Bengali Youth Students’ Federation (ABBYSF) met State Home Secretary, Gyanandra Tripathi and submitted a memorandum, describing him of the problems faced by Hindu Bengalis living in the Bodoland Territorial Areas District (BTAD), reports The Telegraph. In the memorandum, ABBYSF expressed concern over rise in extortion, abduction and killing of Hindu Bengalis in the BTAD by militant groups, including Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO), an Adivasi militant outfit. Each and every Hindu Bengali in the Bodo belt is compelled to pay around seven militant groups, failing which they are threatened with dire consequences, the memorandum says. “The memorandum says the militant groups carry arms in broad daylight under the very nose of police. There are also allegations that a percentage of extortion amount goes to the police,” federation president Mantu Dey said

Interrogation of arrested Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) militant, Aklanta Rabha alias Maheshji, has revealed that Maoist have succeeded in making inroads into Barak valley in Assam, reports The Telegraph. CPI-Maoist ‘central committee member’, Maheshji, along with a central training instructor in Jharkhand, Siraj Rabha, was arrested by Police recently in Kamrup District. Barak Valley, comprising the three districts of Cachar, Karimganj and Hailakandi, shares inter-state borders with Manipur, Tripura, Meghalaya and Mizoram and an international border with Bangladesh. “Maheshji has revealed the names of at least five persons who joined the group four to five years ago and are currently working at the village level in Barak Valley to strengthen their base. For the first time, we have got information about how Maoists are making inroads in the region,” an official told the newspaper on May 6. The strategic location of the Districts, according to the officer, has come as an advantage for the Maoists. One of the five names Maheshji revealed is that of Shalik Singkhai alias Romeo, a youth of the Khamti community from Lohit District of Arunachal Pradesh, who was working to strengthen the Maoist base in Cachar District before his arrest recently. “Romeo was among the first to have started working at the grassroots among the tea community in Barak Valley but he could not continue because of language problems. “We cannot disclose the other four names in the interest of the investigation. The four were working under Maheshji and also visited West Bengal and lower Assam districts,” the officer said. The revelation assumes significance after the task force constituted by the State government in 2012 could not find “significant evidence” of Maoist presence in the area. “The task force report only talked about possible Maoists activities in Barak Valley but Maheshji’s interrogation revealed they had made inroads about five years ago and are working systematically to spread their network,” the officer said.

Director General of Assam Police (DGP), JN Choudhury observed that maintaining law and order in the state should be a national issue as any disturbance in the State affects communication to the entire North East region, reports The Assam Tribune. He further said that with the implementation of the Look East policy of the Government of India, the importance of Assam would increase further. Centre should provide help to the Government of Assam to increase the number of police stations, Choudhury added. The DGP revealed that at present, the strength of the Police in Assam is much less than what is required and the State has 330 police stations to cover 80,000 square kilometre area, while, ideally there should be one police station to cover an area of 150 to 200 square kilometre and one in 100 square kilometre in the sixth schedule areas. This will increase the presence of civil police on the ground and it will be of great help in dealing with problems like ethnic tensions, he said.

Director General of Police (DGP) of Assam, JN Choudhury stated that though the level of violence involving the militant groups has come down, growing ethnic tension in different parts of Assam has become a matter of serious concern, reports The Assam Tribune. Meanwhile, over 60,000 cases are pending in different Police Stations of the State, which is another major area of concern for the Assam Police. DGP Choudhary said that with majority of the militant groups having come forward for talks with the Government, the level of violence has come down and only the anti-talk faction of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-ATF), Songbijit faction of the National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB-IKS), Karbi People’s Liberation Tigers (KPLT) etc are active in the State now. However, these groups do not have all Assam footprints. But extortions by the Songbijit and Ranjan Daimary factions of the NDFB (NDFB-RD)/ NDFB-IKS remain an area of concern, the DGP said. Choudhury admitted that the growing ethnic tensions are a matter of concern as in recent times, the Kokrajhar and Goalpara areas of the State witnessed serious ethnic disturbances and long-term strategies would have to be taken to deal with the problem. He said that efforts are on to increase the number of Police Stations to improve civil policing and the State Government has already sought financial assistance from the Centre for setting up of new police stations. The DGP pointed out that of late, the mobs have become more and more aggressive and dealing with such mobs is a major problem as the Supreme Court also gave clear-cut guidelines on the use of force.

Nagaland Post reports on May 12 that Meghalaya Governor R.S. Mooshahary has admitted that Maoists are trying to establish themselves in India’s northeastern States, even as he said situation in the Northeast has largely improved. “The Assam government had received few indications that Maoists are trying to establish a foothold. The plain areas along the Meghalaya-Assam border could be vulnerable to Maoists,” Mooshahary said. The Assam government, which had also formed a Task Force to combat the Maoists, had found that there are 181 Maoist cadres in the state. It includes women cadres. Stating that the situation in the Northeast has largely improved, Mooshahary, who was also the former chief of the Border Security Force, said, “The region, barring Manipur have improved a lot in the law and order front, and the current trend in the region is towards peace.” Mooshahary, however, urged the State government in the region to improve governance and fight against corruption, eradicate poverty and provide employment avenues.

Meanwhile, the next round of `tripartite talks` involving the United Naga Council (UNC), the Government of India and the State government of Manipur is likely to take place sometime in April or May, reports kanglaonline on March 14. The Government of Manipur had reportedly submitted a list of development projects being supposedly implemented in the hill districts in the 5th `tripartite talk` held on February 12, 2013 to establish that it (Manipur government) has been doing enough in the hill districts or `tribal areas` with regard to the development projects. The representatives of the Manipur government had also reportedly stated that the demand for the `Alternative Arrangement` for the Nagas in Manipur was beyond the brief and mandate of the team and that could be taken up only at the political level and that they would like the `tripartite talk` to examine how equal development could be brought to the hills. The UNC is said to be taking up intensive verification on the listed projects and documenting what was the development of the hills that the Manipur government was talking about.

Assam Chief Minister (CM), Tarun Gogoi on May 18 claimed to have neutralized 75 per cent of militants in the State besides preventing Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) from setting up firm base in the State because strict vigil and development initiatives undertaken during his tenure, reports Shillong Times. CM,Gogoi claimed that recent arrests of several senior Maoists functionaries in Assam including central committee leader served blow to Maoists’ plan to gain foothold and expand base in the State. He also said that the developmental works undertaken by the Congress government led by him as well as maintenance of close vigil has prevented Maoists from striking deep roots among the masses in Assam as quickly as they wanted to do so. “The Maoists have been trying to set base in the state. We had alerted the Centre about their design even before the latter could gather much information about it. We have been keeping a close watch on their activities and this strict vigil has served as an impediment for the Maoists, who have been trying hard to set strong base here,” Gogoi said.

The Assam Tribune reports on May 19 that the possibility of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) rebels coming into a tactical understanding with other militant groups active in Assam including the Independent faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-Independent) cannot be ruled out, admitted the Assam Director General of Police (DGP), JN Choudhury. DGP, Choudhury, said that though the CPI-Maoist rebels are yet to indulge in any major act of violence in Assam, the threat in the days to come cannot be ruled out. He also said that so far there has been no information of the Maoists forging any alliance with any other militant group of Assam, but some kind of tactical alliance for their own survival is very much possible. He revealed that according to information available, some persons, who used to work as overground workers of the ULFA, are now working for the Maoists. Choudhury revealed that the possible areas where the Maoists can infiltrate have been identified and efforts are on to prevent the rebels from establishing strong roots in the state. The DGP pointed out that the Barak Valley Districts have a number of sick tea gardens and the Maoists can try to infiltrate among the labourers of those gardens. He said that the Maoists can also try to motivate the unemployed youths, the tribal groups facing political and other problems etc.

A State security agency document revealed that the leader of the Independent faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-I), Paresh Baruah, had to obey Islamic radicals and convert to Islam along with his family members in return for a safe haven in Bangladesh, reports Times of India. A source associated with the compilation of the document said that Baruah, a Hindu by birth, after converting to Islam, changed his name to Kamruj Zaman Khan, while his wife Bobby Dutta is now known as Sofian Zaman. The Baruahs converted to Islam when they took refuge in Bangladesh in 2000. "His family still lives in Bangladesh under the patronage of the influential radicals and this is one reason why Baruah cannot afford to question Bangladeshi migrants back in Assam. He now lives in hiding, off the money extorted from people in Assam," the source said. Paresh Baruah now leads ULFA-I from Myanmar.
