The Telegraph reports that Meghalaya Director General of Police (DGP) N. Ramachandran, on April 24, said there are indications that some teenagers who were lodged in Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) camps have returned home. On April 10, the DGP had set a week’s deadline to attack the camps of GNLA if the teenagers were not released by the militant outfit. At least 120 teenagers were recruited by the GNLA to assist the cadres in the camps. The teenagers carry out menial jobs in the camps. The DGP said the primary intention of setting a deadline to the GNLA was not aimed at large scale surrender of the cadres. “Our intention was to get back the teenagers from the GNLA camps,” the DGP said. The State Police asserted that operations against the GNLA will continue, adds The Shillong Times. The statement came on the eve GNLA’s proposed 72-hour bandh (shut down strike) in Ampati and Selsella area in West Garo Hills District from April 25 (today). The GNLA earlier gave a three-day deadline to the Government to withdraw its forces engaged in counter-insurgency operations. According to Ramachandran, their demand for the withdrawal of security forces clearly indicates that the outfit is under tremendous pressure.

The day-long bandh (shutdown strike) called on July 5 by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) remained by and large peaceful in Gadchiroli and Gondia Districts of Maharashtra, reports The Times of India. The Maoists had called the bandh to protest two encounters of South Chhattisgarh in June 28-29, where the Maoists have accused Security Forces (SFs) of gunning down villagers in the name of action against armed guerrillas. The Maoists tried to stop traffic by tying banners and creating small obstacles across roads with stones at several places in Gadchiroli like Dhanora, Kasansur, Jarawandi, Pendri and Korchi, and some other places in southern parts of the District. Attempts to paralyse traffic by blocking roads in some parts of Maoist-dominated Gadchiroli and Gondia Districts were thwarted by SFs, who had begun their preventive action on the eve of the strike. Superintendent of Police, Gondia, Dilip Zalke said there were no untoward incidents in the District. "The Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] bandh had no impact on normal life," he said.

Train services were disrupted in the morning of July 12 after the Non-Bodo Suraksha Samiti staged a rail blockade at Baihata station under Rangiya sub-division of Kamrup District to protest against the demand for a separate Bodoland, among others. The Samiti submitted a memorandum to Governor J.B. Patnaik, through the local administration, that voiced their opposition to the alleged move to bifurcate Assam and sought the removal of villages with over 51 per cent non-Bodo population from the Bodoland Territorial Areas District (BTAD). It also wanted withdrawal of Sixth Schedule status accorded to the BTAD because it is located in the plains and not in the hills as “mandated” in the Constitution. Khorsan Ali, vice-president of the Samiti, said they had no option but to hit the streets because the non-Bodos had been deprived of all basic Government facilities, were victims of extortion and slowly but steadily Assamese was being replaced by Bodo language. “Under the prevailing circumstances, it is difficult to live in BTAD areas. Therefore, we should be excluded from it,” he said.
