The Times of India reports that with exactly a month left for the assembly elections in the State, cadres of Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) have come out in the open to extend their support to prospective candidates in certain areas of Garo Hills. However, analytical intelligence studies carried out by security agencies have revealed that the terrorist group has not extended support to any particular political party. "There are indications that it will try to exert its influence in some constituencies by supporting a particular candidate and go against his or her contender," said a source involved in analyzing the intelligence inputs. While refusing to divulge details of the analysis made by security agencies, a top Police official, however, said, "We are monitoring the situation and the security apparatus will be put in place to deter the GNLA from interfering in the electoral process." Intelligence inputs about GNLA's activities came 20 days after the militant group attacked supporters of Saleng Sangma, a minister and sitting Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) who intends to contest the coming elections. The cadres, at the direction of their ‘area commander’ Hadeo, fired at them at Alangre village in West Garo Hills, killing one of his three supporters.

Sources from the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) on March 11 said that it is not clear now when the next round of talks, which was earlier billed as the `may-be the last round of talks`, will happen, reports Kanglaonline. This comes after months of speculations on the early settlement of the Naga political problem before the Nagaland assembly elections. Earlier, Rh Raising, Executive member of the Steering Committee of the NSCN-IM, which is the highest decision making body, had stated on March 5 that the Constitution of India has been the road-block to the Indo-Naga political solution. “Dictated accord or peace is no solution but it is a time bomb. Imposition of one’s will upon the other is the philosophy of tyrants and imperialists,” added the senior NSCN-IM leader.

On July 10 that while the Union ministry of home affairs (MHA) has agreed in principle to one of the primary demands of the Pro-Talks faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-PTF) for granting of tribal status to six communities of the state, the ULFA-PTF leadership is not ready to take the Government word for it till the approval is spelt out in the peace settlement. Deputy 'commander-in-chief' Raju Baruah alias Hitesh Kalita, who is the top leader of the military wing of the pro-talks group, said, "All statements made so far are speculative. We have discussed the problems of the State with the Government, including the problems surrounding indigenous communities. It is too early to come to conclude whether tribal status will be granted to the six communities. First, let it be incorporated in the peace agreement." Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said a few days ago that he too supports the ULFA-PTF’s demand. Union minister of state for tribal welfare Ranee Narah on July 9 said that the MHA is waiting for the Registrar General of India (RGI)'s clearance to the proposal. The ULFA-PTF replaced its three-decade-old demand of sovereignty with the demand for constitutional safeguards for the indigenous people by granting tribal status to the tea tribe, Koch-Rajbongshi, Moran, Motok, Tai Ahom and Chutia communities.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is promoting opium cultivation popular in Districts along the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh boundary, reports The Times of India on July 22. According to security sources, the CPI-Maoist is taking the help of local rebel outfits to encourage opium farming, which, although illegal, is a traditional practice in these areas and is a lucrative occupation for locals. "It is a fact that the Maoists tacitly promote opium and ganja cultivation in order to raise funds for their activities. The cadres of the anti-talks factions of ULFA [ULFA-Independent] and NDFB [NDFB-IK Songbijit], who are hiding at several places in Arunachal Pradesh, are helping them in their latest venture," said an unnamed senior intelligence official. "Around 200 youth are reported to be running the poppy farming racket in the border areas of Arunachal Pradesh. They get a monthly stipend of INR 1,500-2,500. The local outfits, which are helping the Maoists are also paying approximately INR 30,000 per acre to willing farmers for growing opium," added an unnamed security source from Arunachal Pradesh. Earlier, Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Nabam Tuki had said, "We are trying to sensitize the people and replace the traditional poppy farming with other cash crops, rubber plantation or flower and fruit cultivation."

The number of Security Forces (SFs) killed in extremist-related violence in Assam has drastically come down in the last three years as most of the militant groups are now in ceasefire with the government, reports The Telegraph on August 27. According to figures available with the State Home Department, the number of SFs killed by militants has gone down from 14 in 2011 to four in 2012 to only two this year (till June).The number of incidents of militancy-spawned violence has also plummeted in the state this year compared to previous two years. The number of incidents of militant violence in Assam has decreased to 124 this year (up to June) compared to 213 in 2011 and 264 in 2012. The SFs attribute it to some major militant groups, including the Pro-Talks faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-PTF) led by Arabinda Rajkhowa and the Ranjan Daimary faction of the NDFB-RD coming to the negotiating table.“As a result of this, the number of deaths of civilians killed by extremists has also declined. The number of civilians killed in the state in militancy up to June this year is 10 compared to 29 in 2011 and 39 in 2012,” an official source said. He said that though militant violence has come down in the state, there has been no let-up in extortion in the state. The source said that extortion is being carried out by militants as well as a section of former militants and criminals. “A large number of extortion cases were being reported from the Bodoland Territorial Areas District (BTAD). The I.K. Songbijit faction of the NDFB [NDFB-IKS] is involved in large scale extortions in the BTAD and adjoining areas,” the source said.

One person from Assam is now a key member of the terrorist outfit Laskar-e-Taiba (LeT) but there was no report of him visiting the State in recent years, The Assam Tribune September 16. It is also suspected that he may have encouraged others from the State to join the outfit. Highly placed Police sources stated that the LeT leader from Assam is known as Rakib and he hails from Rangiya area. He left Assam in 1992 to join the terrorist group and now he is known to be a key member of the outfit. However, his whereabouts are not known and according to reports available with the police and security agencies, he never operated in the State. But the possibility of Rakib getting in touch with youths from the State from outside to motivate them to join the outfit cannot be ruled out. Police also suspects that a number of boys from the State have joined terrorist outfits like LeT, Indian Mujahidin (IM) and Harkat ul Mujahedeen (HuM). “We have some inputs that a few boys from Assam joined outfits, like LeT, HUM and IM but it is a fact that they were never sent to Assam to launch operations. Normally, those outfits never engage youths to operate in their own States,” sources added. Sources revealed that there were reports of movements of IM members through Assam, but they have not been able to indulge in any major act of violence in the State.

Even as the Ranjan Daimary faction of the National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB-RD) is in the process of preparing the list of its cadre and arsenal, some of its members are believed to join IK Songbijit faction of NDFB (NDFB-IKS), reports Times of India on September 17. According to intelligence sources, although the NDFB-RD faction had submitted a list of its cadres earlier, the Government has asked the outfit to provide photographs and mobile numbers of the cadres also for verification process. The faction has been asked to do so within September 30.Presently, NDFB-RD is said to have cadre strength of at least 500 militants, including about 70 female cadres - armed with sophisticated weapons. However, sources said some of the members have already left Assam and joined the hardline NDFB-IKS led by IK Songbijit."Some members have already violated the norms of the peace process and started resorting to crimes like abduction and extortion in the state. We have inputs that a group of these cadres, who had earlier agreed to the ceasefire, have also moved to Bhutan. We also have reports that some of them have joined the Songbijit faction of the NDFB," said an intelligence officer. The designated camps for the NDFB-RD are likely to be set up in Udalguri, Baska and Chirang and not more than 175 cadres would be kept in one camp. Video surveillance facilities would be installed in all the camps to monitor the activities of these people belonging to the Ranjan faction of the outfit. All the cadres would be provided a stipend of Rs 3,000 each, sources said.

Chawngthu said that one family was allegedly intimidated and threatened inside the Asapara relief camp (Tripura) by some miscreants on September 29, the night before the commencement of the repatriation.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has described the 1643-kilometre-long India-Myanmar border, which facilitates cross-border movement of militants, illegal arms and drugs, as 'extremely porous.', reports Times of India on October 31. "The border (Indo-Myanmar) permits free movement regime up to 16 km across the border. This makes the International Border extremely porous. The border runs along hilly and inhospitable terrain which grossly lacks basic infrastructure and provides cover to the activities of various Indian Insurgent Groups (IIGs). The unfenced India-Myanmar border with free movement regime is thus being exploited by various Indian Insurgent Groups (IIGs)," said an MHA report. The MHA report added that Assam Rifles has been deployed for counter-insurgency and border guarding role on this stretch of the border. "Out of the sanctioned strength of 46 battalions, 31 are for counter-insurgency operations and 15 for border guarding role. At present, all 15 border guarding battalions are deployed along the Indo-Myanmar border. The companies are deployed on all routes of ingress/egress and are checking infiltration, smuggling of arms, ammunition, drugs and fake Indian currency notes," it said.

A meeting with Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) leaders was “deferred” by Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh this week but hopes of a break-through remain alive ahead of 2014 general elections, reports The Sangai Express on December 7.Cancellation of the meeting, which was scheduled for December 4, has raised questions whether the move followed fears of disturbances in Manipur. Sources, however, said that the meeting was “cancelled” after warnings from security agencies that it could affect peace in Manipur but the NSCN has dismissed the suggestion. “The meeting was not cancelled, only deferred as chair- man (Isak Chisi Swu) is in Dimapur. Once he is back, the meeting will take place,” an NSCN source said. “We were promised that there will be something before the 2014 elections,” he added. Swu is in Dimapur for his son’s wedding and is likely to return soon.
