Not a single internally displaced Bru tribal turned up for the verification process at Kaskau relief campo (in North Tripura District) in spite of officials from Mizoram setting up counters there as the last and final repatriation process began on June 2, reports Tripurainfo. Mamit Deputy Commissioner Vanlalngaihsaka said three teams of officials set up a counter at the camp to verify anyone who wants to return to Mizoram as to whether they are original residents of the State. The officials would, however, remain there for the next two days before moving on to other relief camps. Six phases of the repatriation process has been organised since 2010, but these have met with limited success, partly because relief camp leaders have rejected the compensation package saying it is too less. The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) and the Mizoram and Tripura governments have agreed and told the Supreme Court, which is monitoring the repatriation process, that this would be the last time an effort is made to repatriate the tribals.

Also, Government of India (GoI) on June 4 asked the Army to launch operations against "militant camps" without publicly specifying their locations, hours after the ambush, attack being viewed by the security establishment as a "turning point", reports The Telegraph. The term ‘turning point’ was used probably because the security establishment now believes that a series of attacks in the region, including two in Arunachal Pradesh and three in Nagaland, is the result of the newfound camaraderie among the Northeast's militant groups. It is from the villages on either sides of Mount Saramati, the highest point on the India-Myanmar border, that New Delhi suspects the attackers to have emerged, reports The Telegraph. Mount Saramati is on the border of Nagaland's Mon district and Myanmar's Sagaing province. It sweeps southwards to the border in Manipur where Moreh is a trading point. It is suspected that militants came across the border that is unmanned. This was the first time the Indian Army had lost 20 soldiers in a single strike in 20 years. It was also the first time that RPGs were used by insurgents on the Army. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is likely to register a case in the next two days.

Further, India is planning to ask Myanmar to step-up "coordinated military operations" to flush out Indian insurgent groups operating from its soil, reported The Times of India on June 5. Another decision taken in the aftermath of the ambush is to bolster the "intelligence network" along the porous 1,643-kilometer land border with Myanmar. According to a sources, "It was an intelligence failure since the ambush was not an overnight operation. The militants would have required at least three to four weeks of reconnaissance, local liaison, preparation and practice." Nagaland Post further adds that according to a Times of India report latest inputs from Myanmar show significant official support to NSCN-K which has almost completely shifted its armed cadres to the neighbouring country. Early this week, NSCN-K’ chief ‘ SS Khaplang was airlifted to a hospital in Yangon with state assistance. Since the abrogation of cease fire on March 2015, about 400 NSCN-K militants have shifted base to Myanmar. Also, according to Military Intelligence investigation on the ambush, the attack was led by Starson Lamkang of NSCN-K, reports Nagaland Post. As per earlier intelligence inputs, the group was led by a “lieutenant” Tamba.

In related news, It is now emerging that India gave Myanmar phone intercepts and location details of at least two officials from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA), who were reportedly in touch with the top leadership of NSNC-K, reports The Indian Express on June 8. According to a senior Government official NSCN-K abrogated its ceasefire pact following instructions from the PLA. Government official also stated that “We held a meeting with our Myanmar counterparts in April this year [2014] and handed over intercepts of phone conversations between two PLA officials and Khaplang, the leader of the insurgent group. In the said intercept, the Chinese PLA official asks SS Khaplang about his health, tells him to relax and asks him to learn Chinese language,” Sources said that officials also took up the issue of “opium cultivation and trade” being done by insurgent groups like NSCN-K, United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO). He further claimed that Paresh Baruah too, was acting on instructions from some senior officials of PLA. The Indian Express further adds that Khaplang and Baruah are believed to often shuttle between Taga in Myanmar and Ruili and Kunming, both in China’s Yunnan province.

Also, a senior officer stated that "Planting of IEDs on the road by militants and then firing of RPGs clearly shows that the movement of soldiers was known to militants and this could not have been possible without insider help. The Army is now trying to home in on the insider and ordered a court of enquiry to pin point the lapses, reports The Times of India. He also added that the biggest lapse was that the route was not sanitized. "The road opening patrol should have scanned the area and identified the vulnerable ambush areas. The IEDs were lying undetected and the militants had no problem in waiting to strike.

The Times of India reported on June 5 that high casualty sustained in the ambush was because the vehicle in which the soldiers were travelling also contained at least a drum full of fuel. As soon as the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) exploded, the fuel caught fire and instantly caused an inferno, which may have further reduced the soldiers' capability to retaliate. Those who were able to extricate themselves from the fire and pull out were shot at close quarters. At least one source said some soldiers bore stab wounds.

Three Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) militants, identified as ‘sergeant’ Gabriel D Shira alias Darwin D Shira, Walsarang Ch Sangma and Sembath D Shira alias Tutim D Shira surrendered before Meghalaya Director General of Police (DGP) Rajiv Mehta and Additional DGP SK Jain on June 6, reports The Shillong Times. Both Gabriel and Sembath deposited one HK (Heckler and Koch) rifle, 40 rounds of ammunition, one .303 rifle with 75 rounds of ammunition, 3 AK ammunition. The surrendered militants stated that it was due to intensive operations by Security Forces and also due to realisation that the GNLA lacks any ideology and principles and also that their ‘commander-in-chief’ Sohan D Shira and 'finance secretary' are misutilising the cadres for collection of money and cheating the public, that they decided to join the mainstream. They also indicated that several other cadres were willing to surrender, but the fear of their 'commander-in-chief' compelled tem to stay back. The surrendered militants also stated that United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) militants are undergoing training at the GNLA-run camps at Durama in Garo Hills.

Indian security agencies suspect that the June 7 attack on Assam Rifles (AR) camp in Arunachal Pradesh could be a prelude to a major action by Khaplang faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K), reports The Times of India on June 8. Fifty militants had attacked AR camp on Tirap District. An official stated that due to precise intelligence the attack was repulsed. However Intelligence agencies do not think that this would mean any lasting peace in Tirap and Changlang Districts which shares a porous border with Myanmar. Agencies have been observing significant movement of arms and militants into the districts in recent weeks.

Further, The Sangai Express adds that AR on June 9 raided a rebel camp near the Konkan area in Kamjong sub-division of Ukhrul. Also the dead body recovered on June 8, at Leibung village in Chandel District has been identified to be of a KYKL militant, identified as a Rajen. Also, as the Army Operation unfolds, the focus is also on a cluster of villages along the India-Myanmar border. One of them is Pahaikoh, a Kuki village located right on the border in Ukhrul District is the “bit of grey’’ area as there is no definite border demarcation between the two countries here. Another is Chassad village, the sub-divisional headquarter of Ukhrul District also the operating base of 44 Assam Rifles, has seen several attacks on Assam Rifles by militant groups. According to a source, “There are a group of villages on the Ukhrul-Myanmar border that are rife with militant activity. The underground groups move freely here and travel frequently from their camps in Myanmar, right up to Griham village, which is well within the Indian border.” There are frequent attacks on the security forces here. But the groups behind the attacks are all valley groups, which have a large presence across the border near Ukhrul — primarily the United National Liberation Front (UNLF), which is the strongest in the area, and also the KYKL, This particular belt, including Phaikoh, Konkang and Aishi villages, all in Ukhrul District, is highly sensitive and witnesses regular attacks on AR. Security experts claim that Chorokhurnao village in Ukhrul District was, in all probability, used by the insurgents, on June 4 as a passage to Paornol in Chandel, as it is the shortest and safest route to the location of the ambush. These villages are believed to be controlled by the Manipur Naga People’s Front (MNPF), which does not have cordial relations either with Isak-Muivah faction of NSCN (NSCN-IM) and NSCN-K.

Further, three months before the June 4 ambush, Government of India (GoI) was working on a strategy to use dissident NSCN-K militants against the organisation, reports The Indian Express on June 9. The deal, endorsed by Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, was put in place after NSCN-K abrogated a ceasefire pact with GoI. Intelligence sources said the deal involved engaging NSCN-K dissidents Wangting Naga and P Tikhak, who were expelled by the group in March. The two dissidents met Indian intelligence officials at Dimapur on March 27, where they were informed that New Delhi found NSCN-K ‘chief’ Khaplang’s provision of military infrastructure to other North-east insurgent groups unacceptable. The men were asked to push their chief to resume the ceasefire and join peace talks. Khaplang, however, rejected pleas from Naga and Tikhak, and expelled them from the organisation. The decision marked a split between the India-based leadership of the NSCN-K, and its ranks across the border in Myanmar, who had, in 2012, signed a separate peace treaty with that country’s army, and believed themselves secure in their bases there. New Delhi’s decision to work with NSCN-K dissidents, intelligence officials say may have provoked Khaplang to resume attacks on Indian forces. Also, Khaplang has emerged as the most important insurgent leader in North East region, reports The Times of India on June 9. Khaplang, a Hemi Naga tribesman from Myanmar has edged past the Meghen ,‘chairman’ of the region's biggest outfit United National Liberation Front (UNLF) of Manipur, , who is now in Guwahati Jail. Meghen wanted to become the ‘chairman’ of the newly floated United Liberation Front of Western South East Asia (UNLFW) Intelligence agencies intercepted messages sent by Meghen from Guwahati jail, directing his group not to join the UNLFW if the chairman's post is not given to him. A source stated that "Khaplang did not agree to this and he went ahead with the formation of the UNLFW on April 17 with just three other member outfits Independent faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-I), IK Songbijit faction of National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-IKS) and Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO), besides NSCN-K. According to the initial plan, the UNLFW was supposed to be the common platform of all NE militant outfits, including Coordination Committee (CorCom), an umbrella outfit of 6 Meitei militant groups. CorCom hasn't joined the UNLFW but Khaplang managed to get on board the two CorCom groups KYKL and Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP) for June 4 ambush.

Army Sources said on June 9 that at least 20 militants were killed in the military operation in Myanmar, reports The Times of India. According to army, another 11 militants suffered serious injuries while 15 others suffered light injuries. Meanwhile, Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) sources said the toll was around 50 at least. According to The Hindu, the death toll could touch 70. Some sources had earlier put the total number of dead at about 100. Meanwhile, sources said on June 10 that more such operations could not be ruled out given the “scale” of the Northeast militant infrastructure across the border, reports The Indian Express. Sources said there are an estimated 20 camps which are likely targets. Officials also maintained ambiguity over the Operation saying “all is not over”. The Indian Express reports that militant camps are not very deep in Myanmar territory. They lie close to a local commercial route between India and Myanmar, allowing the militants to extort money from traders.

However, The Telegraph on June 10 reports that according to The Wall Street Journal, Zaw Htay had confirmed that Indian troops had entered his country. He said that there was "coordination and cooperation" between the Indian troops and Myanmar's armed forces. But he also added that no Myanmar soldiers were directly involved. In related news, although Chinese authorities maintain a studied silence, think tanks in the country have rubbished allegations of the involvement of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) in the Manipur ambush, reports The Hindu on June 10. Also, there’s distrust of the Myanmar Army in the Indian security establishment when it comes to operations against NSCN-K, reports The Times of India on June 10. NSCN-K signed a ceasefire agreement with the Myanmar army. The agreement provides NSCN-K significant amount of free movement within Myanmar and into India. What adds further to suspicion of the Myanmar army is that insurgent groups, now operating under the NSCN-K umbrella, have been providing "protection" money to Myanmar military's middle and lower functionaries. Several militant groups such Independent faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-I), Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) and National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) have also been operating under Khaplang's overall guidance. These groups pay "protection" money to the Myanmar Army for facilitating free movement across the border. A Senior source stated that It is not so much the NSCN(K) but other groups that have been paying the Myanmar Army. The relationship is very cosy," a senior source said explaining why Indian agencies are wary of the Myanmar army. This also explains why India did not alert Myanmar.

On June 9, Indian Army's surgical strike deep inside Myanmar, bordering Manipur, lasted for about 45 minutes and over 100 northeast militants may have been killed in the operation, stated a source from Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA), reports The Times of India. Six injured rebels are admitted in a hospital. Myanmar has since cordoned off the area where Indian Army undertook operations against northeast insurgents. On Nagaland border too, Army's Special Forces pursued militants into Myanmar and killed 15 insurgents. Indian Air Force choppers and drones assisted the Special Forces. Army's Additional Director General of Military Operations, Major General Ranbir Singh, stated, “Based on these intelligence reports we conducted operations ... we conducted operations in the morning and significant casualties (of militants) have been reported. Today morning, two separate groups were engaged near the India-Myanmar border and along the Nagaland-Manipur border”, reports The Times of India. While he said the operation was carried out "along the Indo-Myanmar border at two locations, along the Nagaland and Manipur borders", PTI quoting sources reported the strike was carried out inside Myanmar with the coordination of local authorities. Technical intercepts and reconnaissance missions confirmed the presence of the militants in the two camps, which was kept under surveillance by Air Force Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) for hours and later Indian Air Force helicopters dropped Para Commandos inside Myanmar late on June 8. The Telegraph reports on June 9 that according to a source in the security establishment, at least one raid was carried out in Onzia inside Myanmar. Indian Express further adds that while the Army’s statement said that the operations were at two locations along the Indo-Myanmar border in Manipur and Nagaland, sources said Special Forces had gone across the border and were in “constant communication with Myanmar authorities”. Sources said the operations were conducted by 21 Special Forces (Para), along with troops of 27 Sector and 10 Sector of Assam Rifles (AR). 27 Sector is headquartered at Pallel in Chandel district while 10 Sector is headquartered at Ukhrul and its area of responsibility stretches to the Myanmar border in Nagaland. The operations are being led by IG Assam Rifles (South), Major General Rajeev Chopra. According to sources Operation is believed to have been going on for about 48 hours and parts of it is still ongoing. Union Minister of state for information and broadcasting Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore stated that it was a cross border operation The Times of India reports that the operation, conceived as retaliation for June 4 ambush, had begun at 3am. The troops were guided to two camps of NSCN-K and allied insurgent groups by intelligence which was gathered by operatives who crossed over into Myanmar a couple of days ago and returned with precise co-ordinates of the terror dens along with photographs. India had an agreement with Myanmar to allow troops to enter each other's territory in search of terrorists, but with consent. However, for the June 9 Operation, Government not inform Myanmar in advance fearing possible leak of information, given the close contact NSCN-K has with middle and lower level of Myanmar Army. NSCN-K has a total strength of 1500, out of which 1000 are in Myanmar, reports The Times of India on June 9.

Special Branch (SB) of State Police on June 9 arrested a Bangladeshi national, who is an “active member” of terrorist group Islamic State (IS), from Agartala airport in West Tripura District while he was all set to fly to Kolkata, reports Tripurainfo.

Mia entered the State through Sonamura subdivision of Sipahijala District (Tripura) on June 6 and was bound for Calcutta in an Air India flight en route to Pakistan adds The Telegraph.

With around 15-20 insurgents of Khaplang faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K) and other allied groups reportedly crossing over from Myanmar for possible retaliatory strikes in North East, Government of India (GoI) has put the states of Manipur, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam on alert, reports The Times of India on June 11. The tightened vigil comes as Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh held a meeting the Army and intelligence brass to take stock of the situation in the wake of June 9 operation. The meeting agreed that the offensive against North-eastern insurgents' hideouts in Myanmar should be taken to its logical conclusion with further strikes, but in due coordination with the Myanmar authorities. A senior Home Ministry official stated that "While the defensive strategies would include stepping up alert in bordering states of Manipur, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh, the offensive strategy involves identification and mapping of the camps across the border followed by joint operations with Myanmarese forces," Inputs suggests that several cadres of NSCN-K units including ‘mobile unit 5’, ‘2nd brigade’ are already camping in the Ukhrul (Manipur), Grihang (Manipur), Phek (Nagaland) and Tirap (Arunachal Pradesh) regions. According to inputs, the militants have planned June 4 like ambushes on Indian Army, BSF and Assam Rifle contingents in these areas. "Ukhrul has been chosen for a major strike because it is the stronghold of their rival Isak-Muivah faction of NSCN (NSCN-IM).

Further, National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval will visit Myanmar on June 17 where he will meet their top leaders which could include President U Thein Sein, reports The Sangai Express on June 12. Also, sources have maintained that India invoked May 2014 Border Agreement with Myanmar on border cooperation which provides for a framework for security cooperation and exchange of information between security agencies of the two countries. A key provision of the pact was conduct of coordinated patrols on their respective sides of the international border and the maritime boundary by the armed forces of the two countries. The decision to approve cross-border strikes in Myanmar to target militants from the NSCN-K was taken during a meeting on June 5 of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), chaired by Prime Minister, reports The Indian Express. The CCS meeting, which was attended by Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, directed the NSA Ajit Doval and Army Chief General Dalbir Suhag to plan the strikes. Early on June 5, Parrikar conveyed to Modi that the Army wanted permission to prepare for a “revenge attack” on the militants who had moved about 4 km into Myanmar by then.

Further, Union Minister of state for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) Dr. Jitendra Singh on June 11 stated that the Government is committed to peace in the North Eastern region, reports Nagaland Post. He further said that “GoI may consider if NSCN -K wishes to come forward for cease-fire. The door is open to any insurgent groups who want to come to the negotiating table.” He also brushed aside the observations in a section of media that India was going to be aggressive or hawkish in its approach in Northeast. R.N Ravi, interlocutor of Naga peace talks stated that talks with NSCN-IM was progressing well. “The ongoing peace talks are progressing very well,” he said, adding, it should not take too long to get its result. Also, R.N Ravi blamed the NSCN-K for abrogation of the ceasefire. He said the Centre had wanted to hold talks with all Naga groups to resolve the Naga issue, but the NSCN-K decided to abrogate the truce. He stated that "When the NSCN-K came into the ceasefire in 2001, the group had a position of not starting talks until the talks with the Isak-Muivah faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-IM) failed. It is not that the Centre did not want to talk to them. We are intrigued why they revoked the ceasefire and started these activities, reports The Telegraph. DoNER minister evaded most of the questions on the GoI plan to deal with the NSCN (K) and claims and counter-claims over the raid on Northeast militant camps inside Myanmar by saying these were "sensitive security issues" that were "beyond my brief."

It has been estimated that People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and Manipur Naga Revolutionary Front (MNRF) sustained 68 casualties during the cross Border raid into Myanmar on June 9, reports The Times of India on June 12. It is also estimated that Khaplang faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K) suffered 15 casualties as they vacated a camp across Nagaland-Myanmar border soon after the Army Special Forces struck. There is no official confirmation yet on the casualties suffered by and other insurgent outfits in the raid, intelligence reports with the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) indicate that at least 19 insurgents killed in the operation were buried on June 11, with a burial in the presence of a Buddhist religious leader. A Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) source stated that information regarding the burial of insurgents' bodies in the presence of a Buddhist religious leader came from intelligence assets both on Indian and Myanmar side of the border, reports The Times of India. The Ministry has also learnt from multiple sources, including those based in villages dotting the Myanmar-Manipur border and trusted aides in touch with Myanmar authorities that around 49 bodies were removed from the site where the camps stood after the Army raid. In addition, as many as 60 injured militants were shifted out in 12-13 vehicles to safer locations in Kalemyo in Sagaing District, Mandalay in Mandalay District and beyond. UMHA officials insist their casualty estimates are credible since they are based on ground reports collated after speaking to local villagers and sources in touch with the Myanmar army and intelligence agencies. The officials claimed that the figures are more or less corroborated by ground reports collected by Military Intelligence, reports The Times of India on June 12. Initial reports coming in a day after the raids had indicated that 30 insurgents were killed and six injured. This figure was further revised to 38 killed and 12 injured later. However, fresh intelligence inputs on June 12 pointed to a much higher casualty figure at 68 killed in camps across Manipur and 15 across Nagaland, besides 60 injured. In related news, June 9 cross-border strikes by the Army on insurgents inside Myanmar may have had less impact on their military capacity than early assessments had indicated, reports The Indian Express on June 11. According to assessments being conducted by the Army with Intelligence services, just seven bodies have been recovered so far and less than a dozen insurgents were injured. A senior Military Intelligence official stated that, the targets, one camp in Onzia and two adjacent camps in Ponyo, did not hit perpetrators of the June 4 ambush. The Special Forces went almost 11 km inside Myanmar, 5 km farther than what had been initially planned. One camp destroyed in Ponyo was being led by Niki Sumi, ‘lieutenant general’ of NSCN-K. But Sumi and an estimated 40 militants of the group are said to have left the camp before the strike. Two separate military officials said the more lethal strike targeted the Onzia camp unconnected to NSCN-K or KYKL. Indian intelligence had reported since at least 2010 the Onzia camp used to house the so-called 253 Mobile Battalion of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). The camp, Manipur Police sources said, operated mainly to extort funds from traffickers and traders. An Army spokesperson said that the Army was aware the camp did not house NSCN-K personnel but added that the target was an umbrella of organisations rather than a specific group. The second Army attack targeted two adjacent NSCN-K facilities at Ponyo, near the Myanmar town of Lahe, just across the border from the Mon District in Nagaland. According to Nagaland Police officials it is a relatively minor facility, served as launch-pad for NSCN-K movement into Nagaland from its rear bases around Taga, in Myanmar’s Sagaing District. The Telegraph further adds on July 12 that according to information reaching the Government, Khaplang ‘commands’ 400 armed militants.

The security establishment in Bengal is suspects that Kamtapur Liberation Organization (KLO) ‘chairman’ Jibon Singh may have been killed in the Army operation in Myanmar on June 9, reports Times of India. There are reports that three of the bodies that were brought back from the Myanmar encounter site were taken to Jorhat Medical College (Assam) for autopsy. One of them could be Jibon's, say sources, adding that DNA tests may be done to ascertain identity. According to sources, a police team, led by Kumargram Police Station In-Charge S G Wangdi, met Jibon's sister Sumitra Barman at her house in Sankosh, Alipurduar District, on June 11. Sumitra, who had trained as a militant under Jibon, said: "I have been in touch with my brother on a regular basis. So far I have not received news of his death." Police did come to her house asking about Jibon, she said. "We have been trying to get any news about him all through the day. But we have heard nothing. We are trying to independently confirm the news," she added. KLO was founded in December 1995 as an expression of Koch-Rajbongshi ambition with an aim to carve out a Kamtapur state comprising six District of Bengal (Cooch Behar, Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri, Malda and North and South Dinajpur), four District of Assam (Kokrajhar, Bongaigaon, Dhubri and Goalpara), Kishanganj (Bihar) and Jhapa (Nepal).

Sources said the operations were continuing in the Manas National Park and in some areas along the Assam-West Bengal border for the past few days. A Police source in Guwahati said the camp they dismantled was a makeshift one set up with tarpaulin sheets.

Meanwhile, SFs on June 17 claimed that IK Songbijit faction of National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-IKS) has at least 10 to 12 women cadres, after they arrested one of them in Chirang District on the same day, reports The Telegraph. Police said they stumbled on the fact following the arrest of Nijira Basumatary (24) alias B. Nenai, who not only worked with male cadres but also staged protests against the counter-insurgency operation by security forces. "Of the 10 to 12 cadres, three are active in Chirang district. We are looking for the other two," Chirang superintendent of police Ranjan Bhuyan said. "She accompanied the outfit's leader G. Bidai in Ultapani forest in Kokrajhar District till the anti-insurgency operation was launched in January. The police recovered a grenade and some documents from her," Bhuyan said. In addition, Defence spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Suneet Newton added that the arrested NDFB-IKS, Nijira Basumatary alias B. Nenai (24), was also spreading negative propaganda against the government and organised protests against the operations being carried out by SFs, reports The Telegraph. She was also working as a courier and supplying ration in the jungles and was involved in the December 2014 Adivasis massacre. The Police said the woman cadres were aged between 16 and 20 years. Chirang and Bongaigaon police had detained 16 girls from New Bongaigaon on suspicion of being new recruits of the NDFB-IKS last year. "Since girls are not suspected easily as militants by security forces, the outfit is now using them as over ground workers," another Police source said. Lieutenant Colonel Suneet Newton further claimed that NDFB-IKS, United Liberation Front of Asom- Independent (ULFA-I) and Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) cadres operating in lower Assam had launched a "propaganda" against the SFs.

Meanwhile, United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I) ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Baruah reportedly uses two Bangladeshi mercenaries, both former Harkat-ul Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) militants, as his bodyguards as he no longer trusts his own cadre for protection, Hindustan Times reports on June 19. The two ex-HuJI militants are Alamgir Hossain and his cousin Mohamad Gholam Nabi. Both belong to the Karatkhil village in Noakhali District of Bangladesh and are 29 years old according to their passports. According to intelligence officials, the ULFA-I 'chief' shifted base to Ruili (Yunnan Province in China) via Kunming, the headquarters of Yunnan Province that shares its western and south-western border with Myanmar. Kunming has direct flight connectivity to Dhaka (Bangladesh). Of late, however, Baruah is believed to have moved to Tengchong, which according to the Myanmar map is also on the China border and is 25-30 kilometres west of Ruili. Days before the Manipur ambush on June 4, Baruah was said to have been seen in the NSCN-Khaplang (NSCN-K) Taga base east of the Arunachal Pradesh-Nagaland-Myanmar tri-junction. Taga is a week’s trip from Tengchong by vehicle, boat and on foot. Baruah also maintains a small base at Maungdaw in Myanmar’s northern Rakhine province adjoining Mizoram and Bangladesh’s Chittagong Hill tracts. Baruah reportedly had help from friends in the Bangladeshi intelligence in setting up the Maungdaw base through Rohingya contacts, the officials said. Maungdaw and Buthidaung are among the few Myanmar towns controlled by Rohingyas in the communally-torn Rakhine area.

Arrested ‘chief trainer’ of the Jama’atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), Nurul Hoque alias Naeem, revealed he was trained in guerrilla warfare at a camp run by the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) in Myanmar, reports Hindustan Times on June 20. Hoque told interrogators he received advanced training in guerrilla warfare in a NSCN-K base in Myanmar shared with the United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I). The ULFA-I facilitated his training and some more JMB members are currently being trained in the NSCN-K base in Myanmar, Hoque said. NIA officials believe the ULFA-I helped Bangladeshi radicals connect with NSCN-K. This, they said, pointed to a plan hatched well before the Naga group walked out of a 14-year-old truce in March, to destabilise the northeast and Bangladesh, currently ruled by pro-India Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. “The ULFA’s (undivided) link with Islamic radical groups is well known. There were reports of at least 200 ULFA activists having received training in Pakistan and Afghanistan by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence and Afghan mujahideen. And at home, radical groups such as the Muslim United Liberation Tigers of Assam [MULTA] were the chief suppliers of arms for the Ulfa through Bangladesh,” said Assam Director General of Police Khagen Sarma.

Nagaland Post on June 22 reports GoI has given nod to reverse the “historical blunders” and “unconstitutional acts” of Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) through which an executive order in 2005-06 had debarred the State Government from intervening into any law and order issue concerning NSCN. Authoritative Security sources stated that even elected representatives of the state had very little say on Naga peace talks and that State Government was not a part of the standard operating procedure (SOP) on dealing with NSCN. Indicating that the GoI was prepared to take the views of Naga civil society into account in finding an amicable solution to the problem besides making the state government a party to the SOP, security sources regretted that most of the stakeholders, including the State Government, was kept in dark over the ongoing peace talks. R. N Ravi, the chief interlocutor for Naga peace talks stated, “The focus of the Centre has been to reverse all those mistakes that have been dragging the peace-talks since 1997 without any solution.” He asserted that solution of the Naga peace talks was not possible without the pro-active and transparent involvement of all the stakeholders.

Separately, The Times of India on June 22 reports that according to Intelligence inputs, Government of India (GoI) aggressive stand against Khaplang faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K) including the commando raid across the border into Myanmar on June 9, may have dented the militant group's morale. An official stated that on the basis on intercepts and contacts across the border, NSCN-K is not expected to make any effort at a major attack on Indian security forces for some time to come. There are also indications that NSCN-K is facing pressure from Myanmarese authorities not to carry out any violent activities in India. Yet another reason for the group to lie low is local hostility towards their attacks on Indian security forces, which dramatically disrupt daily life. An official argued that "If pressure is kept up, they will come back to negotiations, not just because of security imperatives but financial reasons."

Closing in on the militant camps operating in Myanmar, Myanmar Army has positioned itself nearer Indian border in a bid to choke the supply route of insurgents, reports The Sangai Express on June 25. Indian officials stated that the current operation is aimed at insurgent camps operating in Taga of Myanmar which requires seven days of travel through dense jungles from Indo-Myanmar border. Sources also stated that Myanmar forces are not allowing anyone from Indian side to carry ration more than two kilograms to cross the border which is expected to leave the insurgents short of supplies. The insurgents operating in North Eastern region of the country often threaten villagers asking them to provide them with daily provision, food supplies and intelligence. This movement of villagers has now been blocked because of the increased presence of uniformed men on both sides of the border having a difficult terrain and dense forests, which provide a hideout to the insurgents and their informers.

The Biswamohan faction of National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT-BM) is disintegrating fast, a youth from West Tripura district, who was tricked into joining the banned outfit in April and managed to flee the clutches of the militants recently, has revealed so, reports The Telegraph. The youth identified as Sanjit Debbarma, (20), a Class VIII dropout, and son of impoverished tribal farmer Chandra Mohan Debbarma of Daodharani village under Sidhai Police Station of Sadar (north) subdivision, left home after he was promised employment and a good, regular earning by a group of tribal youths from two nearby villages. "On April 2, Sanjit left home and was taken across the border to an NLFT camp in the Segun Bagan area of Bangladesh, adjacent to the Simna area of West Tripura. There he found eight armed rebels, most of whom had been lured into the outfit with similar promises of a good job, and a good stock of ammunition," a highly placed official in the special branch (intelligence wing) of the State Police said, adding that seven of the eight cadres have since fled the camp. "Except a few leaders like NLFT ‘president’ Biswamohan Debbarma and his close colleagues, nobody will stick around in the outfit. This is what we have gathered from Sanjit," the official said.
