All Arunachal Pradesh Students Union (AAPSU) welcomed Government of India’s decision to amend list of scheduled tribes in Arunachal Pradesh, reports Times of India on January 5. AAPSU General Secretary stated that ‘The amendment, if duly approved, will be beneficial, especially for the numerous indigenous tribes of eastern districts of Arunachal Pradesh who were until today classified under the vague and ambiguous terminology of 'Any Other Naga-Tribes'. Such improper classification of these tribes was a historical blunder which resulted in numerous hardships and a sort of identity crisis for them.’ GoI had amended the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order (Amendment) Bill, 2018 to amend the the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order of 1950. The bill seeks revision in the list of scheduled tribes of Arunachal Pradesh - it proposes the inclusion of Nocte, Tangsa, Tutsa, Wancho in lieu of 'Any Naga Tribes'. It also calls for the deletion of 'Abor', replacing Khampti by Tai Khamti, inclusion of Mishmi-Kaman (Miju Mishmi), Idu (Mishmi) and Taraon (Digaru Mishmi), and inclusion of Monpa, Memba, Sartang and Sajolong (Miji) in lieu of Momba. Arunachal Pradesh government had earlier sent a proposal to the Centre to amend the list of scheduled tribes. The state had proposed doing away with the category of 'any Naga tribe' and replacing it with Nocte, Tangsa, Tutsa and Wancho.

Government of India (GoI) has been providing funds to Arunachal Pradesh to increase the strength of Police force, particularly in the Districts of Tirap, Changlang and Longding to check movement of militants, reports Assam Tribune on March 19. Admitting that lack of adequate security in these Districts is a matter of concern as the militants are using the areas as transit routes, sources said that efforts are on to increase the strength of Arunachal Pradesh police force in those areas. Sources stated that “Capacity building takes time and the Government of India has been helping Arunachal Pradesh to set up new police stations in the area and to equip the police force with modern weapons’’. Sources also stated that the deployed strength of Army, Assam Rifles and Central Forces has been increased. After reports of about 50 youths joining the United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I) during the movement against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB), GoI took steps for increasing coordination between the forces operating along the areas in Assam-Arunachal Pradesh and Assam-Nagaland border areas, resulting in a decrease in militant activities and movement. According to Security officials, almost all the militant outfits of the region are facing severe financial crunch as the flow of funds have been squeezed and the operations by Myanmar Army has also left them in disarray, reports Assam Tribune. As a result, flow of weapons has also come down drastically. Sources said that it would be difficult for militant groups to sustain if they totally lose their bases in Myanmar as they have already lost ground in Bhutan and Bangladesh. There have been reports that there are a few hideouts of northeast militants in the Chittagong Hill Tracks (CHT) area of Bangladesh, but there is no organized camp in that country. Sources also added that though militant groups of North East used to procure weapons in huge consignments, the situation has completely changed in recent times. Currently the militant groups are procuring weapons in small numbers from the ethnic insurgent groups of Myanmar. Moreover, the outfits also lost a sizeable number of sophisticated weapons during the recent raids by Myanmar Army.

Government officials stated that over the years, there have been instances of Chinese agencies directly or indirectly providing assistance to militant groups of the Northeast, reports Assam Tribune on March 30. Officials stated that ‘The possibility of Chinese agencies trying to influence the Northeast-based militants to create disturbance during the polls cannot be ruled out, but such groups have very limited capability after their camps were destroyed by Myanmar Army’. Sources further pointed out that though India has cordial relations with Bangladesh, the possibility of the anti-India forces, which have bases in that country, trying to create trouble during the polls cannot be ruled out and that is why, the security of India-Bangladesh border cannot be overlooked. Terrorist outfits like Jamaat-ul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), Neo JMB, which has links with the Islamic State, Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT) are still active in Bangladesh and they may try to sneak into India to create trouble during the polls.

The Sentinel reports that Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on March 31 stated that action will be taken against those involved in the killings.

In the last five years, insurgency and antisocial activities in the entire western part of the State has been wiped out and now AFSPA is limited to the three eastern Districts of Tirap, Changlang and Longding Districts and four Police Stations of adjoining Districts with Assam.”

Director General of Assam Police Kuladhar Saikia stated that all the neighbouring states have been requested to increase security in the inter-state routes. He added that ‘Since the last few days, we have built up a strong coordination with Police departments of the north-eastern states. I requested them to carry out strict checking in both train and other vehicles, so that members of any radical force or militant outfit cannot enter Assam. We are also ready to carry out joint operation, if needed’. The DGP said that 30 additional companies of Paramilitary forces have been brought to Assam to strengthen the security arrangements during election time.Telegraph further adds that vehicle checking, surveillance at railway stations, bus depots and area domination have been intensified in the areas along the inter-state border. He also added that ‘We also have 90 companies of CPMF in the state, besides our own forces, deployed for election-related duties. Security forces engaged in National Registry of Citizens (NRC) duties, however, will not be used for polls’.

Paresh Baruah, the ‘commander in chief’ of United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I) on April 27 stated that some members of the outfit were awarded capital punishment as they were found fleeing with weapons and acting as informers of the enemies, reports New Indian Express. His assertion comes in the wake of media reports that at least three rebels were awarded capital punishment by the outfit in its Myanmar camp. He stated that ‘They were punished as according to our ‘constitution’. It has prescribed death penalty for any of our members if found fleeing with weapons or sharing classified information of our organisation with the enemies’. He also added that ‘During trial in the ‘court’ of our organisation, they were found guilty on both counts and as a result, awarded capital punishment’. He further stated that ‘None among us is above our ‘constitution’. We hail those who die fighting for our cause as ‘martyrs’. However, we view those who are killed for fleeing with weapons or acting as informers of the enemies as criminals. We don’t remember them nor do we inform their families of their death’.
