The ‘chairperson’ of Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP)-Military Council (progressive) identified as Amon Nelson Singh was arrested on September 8 from central Kolkata, reports The Telegraph. Amon, 28, who is also known as Chingkhei Khuman alias Maheikhomba Meitei, was rounded up from Esplanade after Calcutta police's special task force (STF) received specific information about his visit to the city. One 9mm pistol, two 7mm pistols and three rounds of ammunition were found on him. Amon's arrest came four days after the outfit's general secretary, Moirangthem Rana Pratap alias Paikhomba, 37, was arrested by the special cell of Delhi police from Bishnupur for allegedly threatening businessmen and influential people. The outfit's another commander, Oinam Ibochouba Singh alias Khoirangba, was arrested from south Delhi's Kotla Mubarakpur on August 28. The police came to know that Moirangthem had directed Oinam to go to Delhi and set up a base there to conduct their activities. According to an STF officer, ‘Last year, some members of the outfit were arrested in connection with a robbery at a jewellery shop in Calcutta. We are also trying to probe whether Amon was involved in that robbery’. The police are investigating whether Amon was assigned to set up a base in Calcutta so that the members of the outfit can take refuge whenever they visit the city. The Kangleipak Communist Party, Military Council (Progressive), came into existence in the late 2000s.

This is the first time Maoist guerrillas, whose links with the arrested activists are under scanner, have openly supported the alleged overground ideologues. The Maoists, based in south Gadchiroli, appealed to the masses through the banners erected at Perimili, around 135 kilometers from Gadchiroli, to condemn the arrest of 10 activists for their alleged role in Bhima Koregaon violence. They have also demanded their immediate, unconditional release. The Maoists have also urged the masses to condemn the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)- Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Government for labelling the activists as ‘Maoists’ to deprive them of their rights. The banners had names of the 10 ‘Naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] sympathizers’ including five, Varavara Rao, Gautam Navlakha, Sudha Bharadwaj, Vernon Gonsalves and Arun Ferreira, who are kept in house arrest till September 12 by the Supreme Court. The banner also named city-based former English professor Shoma Sen, advocate Surendra Gadling, Gadchiroli-based Mahesh Raut, Delhi’s Rona Wilson, and Mumbai’s Sudhir Dhawale, who were arrested by Pune Police on June 6. Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIGP), Naxal range, Ankush Shinde, said the banners would be sent to Pune Police, to be included in their investigation.

Over 200 Myanmar refugees fleeing armed conflict between Myanmar Army and Arakan Army (AA) militants are still in south Mizoram's Lawngtlai District, reports The Telegraph. State home department officials said the refugees entered Mizoram on November 25 last year following the crackdown launched by Myanmar Army against AA militants after 11 Myanmar Army personnel were gunned down by the militants in an ambush near the Kaldan river. The refugees, mostly Buddhists and Christians, were from Paletwa and neighbouring villages in Myanmar's Arakan (Rakhine) state. Initially, the refugees numbering about 1,750 entered Lawngtlai District and were taking refuge at makeshift camps in four villages -Zochachhuah, Laitlang, Dumzautlang and Hmawngbuchhuah. Though the Myanmar Government has asked them to return to their respective villages citing that the armed conflict between Myanmar Army and AA militants had subsided, about 238 people, including 69 children from 60 families still remain in Mizoram and were reluctant to return to their villages citing that the armed conflict may get renewed anytime, officials said. In January and February, majority of the refugees had returned to Myanmar on their own. The refugees are at present taking refuge at Hmawngbuchhuah village in the Bumtlang subdivision.

The scheduled meeting of the Police chiefs of the North East is likely to deliberate upon consolidating the Police and Security Forces (SFs) over the improving law and order situation and formulating strategies to deal with new challenges including Jihadi threats, reports Assam Tribune on September 11. The meeting is to be held from September 13-14 in Itanagar in Arunachal Pradesh. Highly placed SFs stated that though the overall law and order situation in the region has improved, the Police and SFs cannot lower their guards and there is need for coordinated efforts to consolidate the position. The Manipur-based militant outfits are still active, and, as majority of the militant outfits of the region have come into a common platform, they can still create problems in certain areas of the region. Almost all the militant outfits of the region still have strong bases in Myanmar, while, a new militant outfit – People’s Democratic Council of Karbi Anglong (PDCK) – has emerged recently and joined the common platform of militant outfits. It was also stated that Police forces of the North East would also have to come up with strategies to deal with the new challenges, including thwarting the move of the jihadi elements from establishing bases in the region. Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) foot print was seen in Assam and there is possibility of the outfit trying to establish strong bases in the region by taking advantage of the fact that the region shares a long international boundary with Bangladesh. Moreover, activities of some radical elements were also noticed in the region.

Assam Police have said that they have busted a module of the Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) terror group with the arrest of three people for their alleged links with a terrorist arrested in Uttar Pradesh, reports NDTV. The three, identified as Shahnawaz Alam, Saidul Alam and Omar Faruk, were arrested from Hojai, Udali (Nagaon District) and Byrnihat (Udal Guri District), along the Assam-Meghalaya border, respectively, on September 14 and 15. They were believed to have had links with Hizbul terrorist Qamar-uz-Zama who was arrested by the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorist Squad. Northeast Today further adds that Police suspect that Alam is the brain behind the expansion plans of Hizb-ul Mujahideen in Assam. Hojai District Superintendent of Police (SP), Ankur Jian stated that “Saidul Alam was a meritorious student, but he got in touch with terror elements in 2015 during his visit to Nizamuddin Markaz Masjid in Delhi. Alam got in touch with Qamar-uz-Zaman (arrested by Uttar Pradesh Police) in 2018. Zaman, Alam and Shahnewaz were in constant touch since then. Alam went to Srinagar in April 2018 and got in touch with few HM terrorists and he revealed it. In the meantime, Qamar-uz-Zaman directed Alam to verify few locations in Assam to expand organisational network and targeted Lumding area in Hojai district.” Times of India further adds that Shahnawaz Alam, Sahidul Alam and Umar Faruk are all from Jamunamukh in Hojai District. According to sources, Qamar had left home in 2012 to work at a garment shop owned by his relative in Kashmir. In 2017, he went missing; his family lodged missing reports in Kashmir and here (Assam)’. Officials also added that the information we have gathered so far points towards the Jammu and Kashmir-based group’s attempt to find new recruits in Assam. Police said Sahidul was the first to be indoctrinated by HM. He went on to recruit Qamar and sent him for training to Kishtwar District in Jammu & Kashmir. After completing his training, Qamar visited Jamunamukh in August. Qamar was on a recruitment drive. After travelling to Guwahati, he left for Kanpur, where he was arrested. While being taken into police custody, Omar had told the media he was “paid INR 30,000 by Qamar to help him find new recruits who would be willing to join the outfit. Each year, many from Jamunamukh leave their homes and their families are told they are working with relatives in Kashmir or countries in the Middle East. Neither police nor the families know their whereabouts. According to Assam Police HM has managed to create a network of sleeper cells in Assam for which it had already started pumping sizeable amount of money, reports North East Today.

The working committee of the Naga national political groups (NNPGs) on September 16 stated that ongoing Indo-Naga political negotiations were not confined to Nagaland State alone, reports Assam Tribune. According to the NNPGs, the political negotiation and the settlement is meaningless if Nagas and their ancestral territory in Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam are left in its present form in all aspects. The NNPG stated that they have conveyed to the Government of India (GoI) interlocutor RN Ravi that the political agreement would not sustain until and unless Nagas in Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam are made absolute masters over their ancestral lands and resources, natural or manmade, conforming to history and political right. The statement said the NNPGs do not believe in isolating and ignoring Nagas outside the State of Nagaland. Additionally, NNPG alleged that in recent times there has been an increase in the kidnapping, abduction and confinement of its cadres by National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM), reports United News of India. In a press statement, NNPG alleged that ‘no fatality has been perpetrated, negative actions such as haphazard abductions and kidnappings, forced labour, physical torture and humiliating treatments under detentions should be avoided at this juncture’. NNPG also alleged that money ranging from INR 15,000 to INR 1,00,000 was being demanded for the release of abductees.

The arrest of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) operatives in Assam has thrown the focus on Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN), reports Times of India on September 17. The Assam Police suspect that caches of FICN have come from across the India-Bangladesh border. According to an Assam Police report, ‘Seizures of counterfeit currency in the state has been at an all-time high, with Assam Police having registered at least 206 FICN-related cases since the beginning of 2017. In 2016, only 63 such cases were recorded’. An ongoing investigation following the arrests of over 50 operatives of Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) in the state has revealed a clear link between the FICN racketeers and militant outfits, reports Times of India. According to National Investigation Agency (NIA), most of the FICN notes were being circulated at whole sale markets where millions keep getting circulated in currency transactions before they reach banks. A clear pattern has emerged on the route that these fake notes follow once it enters Assam from Bangladesh. A huge chunk of these notes is circulated to places across Uttar Pradesh while some of it has been traced to southern states, particularly in locations where Islamic terror outfits function." Most of these fake currency rackets are in Districts of South Salmara-Mankachar, Dhubri, Hailakandi, Cachar and Karbi Anglong, all of which lie in close proximity to the Bangladesh. Many of these notes also enter Assam from Mizoram and Tripura. Many militants have been held with fake currency notes in the state, thus revealing the nexus between these rackets and militant activities in the states. "FICN worth INR 1,00,000 were sold for INR 40,000-50,000, attracting local criminals and militant cadres. Last year, FICNs with a face value of INR 1.4 million were seized in the state.

Cross firing continued for about half an hour in which a BSF trooper was hit by the bullets and succumbed to injuries. “While area on Pakistan side has a protective bundh close to the International Border, our area was undulated, marshy and having thick ‘sarkanda’ growth, which made the task of locating the felled jawan immediately, difficult,’’ sources said, adding initially the BSF trooper was presumed to be missing. However, after search efforts, the BSF finally recovered body of the killed trooper late in the evening. “Further action on clearing the area from any Improvised Explosive Device (IED), booby trap etc is being taken by BSF troops,’’ sources said.

For the first time in the country two Police Stations in the Maoist-affected Bijapur District of Chhattisgarh qualified to achieve the ISO certification on meeting the specified parameters on policing and related scope of activities, reports The New Indian Express on September 18. Bhopalpatnam and Madded - the earlier fortified Police Station, in restive Bijapur about 350 kilometers south of Raipur have been found to be in accordance with the requirements of the Quality Management System ISO 9001:2015 certification on maintenance of law and order, prevention & detection of crime, establishing peace and tranquility and achieving the other policing activities in their respective areas. Both the Police Stations are functioning in naxal (Left Wing Extremism - LWE) epicenter, Madded is 40 kilometers and Bhopalpatnam about 60 kilometers away from the district headquarters. "This is indeed a historic achievement for the Bastar police. For the first time the two police stations in any left-wing extremism (LWE) area in the country got the ISO certificates. The people-centric approach and the initiatives taken under the community policing to win the heart and minds of masses by the Bastar police were equally instrumental in achieving the given aim and the people's-friendly policing. Gradually we will see more police stations with such certification", the Bastar range Inspector General of Police (IGP) Vivekanand Sinha said. Such certification is given by International Standards Organisation (ISO) based in Geneva. "ISO is just a means for us to upgrade the current infrastructure. We were eager to change the perception about this region and of the police station. To think something beyond naxalism. People should feel comfortable coming to the police thana", said the Bijapur Superintendent of Police (SP) Mohit Garg.

According to Superintendent of Police (SP), one of the arrestees Shahnwaz Alam so far has turned out to be one of the ‘who's who’ of HM. The state has seen the growth of a large number of radical Islamic groups over the years - both home-grown and from Bangladesh or Pakistan, reports Times of India on September 19. In 1999, Assam Police arrested four ISI operatives - the first such instance in the country.

According to as the jehadi groups are mostly inter-linked by some way or the other, they usually try to take advantage of local situations to their advantage to indoctrinate youths to join their folds security sources, report Assam Tribune on September 20. The activities of Hizbul Mujahideen in Assam were in nascent stage but the investigations revealed that they were trying to procure weapons from Dimapur. The sources also added that Assam Police would have to make a special unit to deal with activities of the jehadi groups like some other States did as the threat cannot be overlooked and the activities of such outfits are not confined to one particular state or country. Moreover, there is very little intelligence inputs about the activities of such groups and to deal with them, the state police forces and the Central agencies would have to work in close coordination. The police presence in the remote and vulnerable areas would also have to be increased immediately. Sources said that after arrests of four agents of the Pakistani Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) in Assam in late 1990s, the police and security forces came to know that the Harkat ul Mujahideen (HUM) managed to establish bases in the State. More than 40 activists of the HUM were arrested during that time and around 25 of them had gone to Pakistan for training. The head of the Assam unit of the HUM Master Fakruddin is still missing. According to an input, he was killed while fighting the American forces in Afghanistan, but the report could not be confirmed. Similarly, another youth from Assam, Nurul Ali, had joined terrorist group Harkat Ul Ansar and he was involved in an act of violence in Delhi. But his present whereabouts are not known. It is also suspected that one youth from the State was involved in the blasts in Bodh Gaya in 2013, but the report could not be confirmed. However, security sources said, “the involvement of a youth from the State in the Bodh Gaya blast is almost confirmed with the available inputs. Sources revealed that the Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) managed to establish bases in Assam by taking advantage of the sentiments of a certain section of people following the 2012 ethnic clashes in the BTAD areas and the fact came to light only after an accidental blast in West Bengal. Around 50 persons were arrested and it was found that around 12 persons were trained up in a Madrassa in West Bengal. But luckily for the security agencies, the accidental blast during the training in Burdwan led to the arrests of the JMB activists, sources pointed out and said that if the jehadi elements quietly carry on indoctrinating people without indulging in any violence, it is very difficult to track their activities.

The National Investigating Agency (NIA) wing probing the funding of Naxals (Left Wing Extremists) has claimed that the money extorted by these home-grown rebels are being pumped into real estate companies, reports Zee News on September 20. The report further states that the Naxals are investing the extortion money into the real estate firms through their trusted agents who have been former cadres. These real estate agents invest money into their business and return it to the Maoist when needed. In its report, the special wing of the NIA claimed that the extorted money is also being used for the higher education of the children of top Naxal leaders. It may be recalled that the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) had recently formed a dedicated wing to check the funding of Naxals, which is said to be over INR 125 crore. The NIA report, accessed exclusively by Zee News, has revealed that the Naxals groups have been extorting money from individuals as well as business houses. Their main source of funding is extortion from the tendu patta (leaves of the tendu tree) contractors and levy from businessmen and corporate houses. A case registered by Jharkhand Police in November 2016 and, later by NIA this year (2018), had revealed the modus operandi of the Naxals. According to the NIA report, the extorted money is first deposited in bank accounts of some bogus shell companies and, from there, it is transferred to bank accounts of family members of the Naxal leaders.

Army Chief General Bipin Rawat on September 22 said stern action is needed to avenge the barbarism by terrorists and the Pakistan army against Indian soldiers without resorting to brutality, reports Daily Excelsior. The comment comes after a Border Security Force (BSF) jawan (trooper) was shot and his throat slit recently, followed by the abduction and brutal killings of three Policemen in Jammu and Kashmir. “We need to take stern action to avenge the kind of barbarism that terrorists and the Pakistan army have been carrying out against our soldiers. It is time to give it back to them in the same coin, but not by resorting to similar kind of barbarism. I think the other side must feel the same pain,” the Army chief said. Referring to the killing of the BSF solider whose mutilated body was found in Jammu, the Army chief said such acts were unacceptable and there was a need to avenge it. He said the Indian Army had carried out successful operations against the Pakistan Army whenever they did something against India along the border. “Pakistan has suffered many casualties and we have been able to take on their defence system to a large extent, but we never resorted to barbarism. They requested for a ceasefire in May and we agreed, but if they continue to do this, we will need to take other action,” Rawat said. “If you look at it, the casualty and damage suffered by the other side is far more than what we have been suffering. We have done it a professional and a military-like manner,” he insisted. The Army chief also made it clear that India and the Indian Army would not be scared by any threat from Pakistan.

The Ahmedabad Crime branch Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Deepan Bhadran has said that the proposal to recognise Cyber cell as a ‘Cyber’ Police Station is being considered and could be approved soon; as for the last three years, 60% of cyber-related incidents pertaining to digital fraud and cheating, reports The Times of India on September 22. Since 2009, the city Cyber cell used to receive about 1,500 applications of Cyber-related incidents every year. In 2016, the counts were shot up to about 3,000—having the majority of applications coming after demonetization in November 2016, as there was a ‘flood’ of digital transactions, said an unnamed Cyber cell official. In 2017, the cell received about 4,000 complaints. However, the estimates show that only about 5% of calls made by fraudsters now result in fraud,” said Cyber cell DCP Rajdeepsinh Jhala.

Proposals have been mooted for modernising the Border Police force of Assam and immediate priority will be to digitise all the records so that those can be properly maintained, reports Assam Tribune on September 24. Moreover, proposals are also on to upgrade the facilities of the police personnel deployed as second line of defense behind the Border Security Force (BSF). According to officials, proper maintenance of records is a must to deal with the problem of infiltration of foreigners. To avoid mismatch of records kept by various agencies, including police, foreigners’ regional registration offices, foreigners’ tribunals and District election officers, a proposal for digitisation of the records has been mooted. There is also need for avoiding mismatch of data maintained by various agencies dealing with the problem of foreigners and that is why the EFT (Electronic Foreigners’ Tribunals) concept has been mooted. Once all the data is properly digitised and matched, it will be easier to deal with the issues relating to the problem. Sources said there is need for improving facilities given to the police personnel deployed as second line of defense behind the BSF. Steps have already been initiated to improve their facilities such as accommodation and mobility. Sources also admitted that there is need for improving record keeping by the personnel manning the watch towers. The river Police Force is also in need for immediate attention and the Border Police has requested the Government to provide boats as soon as possible, while there is need for setting up of new Police Stations of the Force in the areas considered vulnerable.

According to officials, ban on All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF) and National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) will be reinforced with a fresh ban under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) following a review by Government of India, reports Indian Express on September 25. ATTF and NLFT were banned in 1997. A senior Government official stated that ‘Both NLFT and ATTF are active. Their debarment was to expire on October 2, ahead of which inputs were sought from the state government and security agencies. During a review it was decided to continue with their ban under UAPA’. Tripura shares more than 850 km of boundary with Bangladesh. Last month, NLFT reportedly issued extortion notices in three villages close to the Indo-Bangla border in Dhalai district, 130 km from Tripura. The police have launched a probe into the matter. A recent assessment by intelligence agencies claimed that some hideouts of banned insurgents were still active in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh. The BSF was alerted and Tripura Police has intensified patrolling in bordering areas. “There are reports of tribal farmers crossing the border to gather firewood. Insurgents hand over extortion notices to such farmers, who are asked to deliver them to the target’. ATTF and NLFT were banned by the Home Ministry in April 1997 following large-scale ethnic riots involving tribals and non-tribals in Khowai subdivision, in which both the outfits intervened on behalf of the tribals. The groups have been dormant since AFSPA was revoked by the Manik Sarkar government in 2015. AFSPA had been imposed in Tripura in 1997 after a spate of killings and kidnappings by the NLFT.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) poster and wall writings were found in the villages of Kumandi, Bendi and Ledhpa in Latehar District of Jharkhand on September 25, reports The Pioneer. Depleting number of cadres in CPI-Maoist’s outfits like PLGA (Peoples’ Liberation Guerrilla Army) and KKC (Kisan Krantikari Committee) has forced the outfit to do wall writings and bringing posters for recruitment, urging youth to join PLGA. Superintendent of Police (SP), Latehar, Parshant Anand, said Maoists have done wall writings and posters pasting all for youth to join their bandwagons but now the youth of this District are alert and will not come in their trap. SP said the youth know now the real faces of the Maoists whose sons and daughters’ study in elite schools, like the daughter of the surrendered Special Area Committee (SAC) member of CPI-Maoist, Birsai, who studies in as prestigious a school as Don Bosco in McCluskieganj. “Our village children study in government schools where they get midday meals too but here Maoists’ kids study in posh schools.

In light of the Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) arrests in the state, efforts have gained ground to set up a Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) on the lines of the ones in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and other places, reports First Post on September 25. According to Pallab Bhattacharya the Additional Director General of Police Special Branch, ‘The emergence of the Hizbul Mujahideen module in Assam may be a one-off case. But we have sought the formation of an ATS in Assam in order to keep a close eye as these groups operate very surreptitiously and secretively because of the unique nature of the Assamese social fabric’. He also added that ‘It is a unique Islamic culture in Assam due to which even the few radicalised elements tread very carefully lest they be exposed by members of their own community. But radical thoughts have increasingly been gaining ground and that is why there is an urgent need to tackle it and nip it in the bud’. HM is the largest militant outfit in Jammu and Kashmir waging an armed struggle seeking the severance of Kashmir from India although government reports say the outfit is fighting a growing crisis of shortage of weapons and finances, reports First Post. It is believed that of the about 210 hardcore militants active in Kashmir Valley now, about 126 belong to the Hizbul. After Jammu and Kashmir, Assam has the largest population of Muslims among the Indian states. Assamese Muslims adhere to a Sufi form of Islam cherished and propagated by 17th-century poet and spiritual leader Azaan Faqir. The idea behind setting up the ATS would ostensibly be to identify and isolate the radical elements. While the state’s security forces have handled the insurgency led by the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and other insurgent outfits in an effective manner, a different approach needs to be organised to combat jihadi modules. At the same time, it has to be admitted that situation in certain parts of the state is indeed getting more fertile to breed radical Islamist ideologies which pave the way for setting up of jihadi outfits.

A day after the deadline for repatriation expired, 67 Bru refugees from 11 families, sheltered in camps in North Tripura district, left for Mizoram on September 26, reports The Telegraph. The inmates, who were living in Khakchang relief camp in Panisagar sub-division for the past 20 years, returned to Mizoram with proper security in 11 buses. Mizoram home department joint secretary Lalbiaksangi said, “Although 17 families were to return to Mizoram according to initial information, only 11 families have returned from the relief camps in Tripura. The refugees would be re-settled in Mamit District’’. He also added that According to Lalbiaksangi, 17 Bru families, repatriated from Hazacherra relief camp on September 19, are currently lodged at a makeshift camp in Tlabung town in Mizoram’s Lunglei district bordering Bangladesh. Of the 11 Bru families, seven families will settle in Sihthiang village, three in Bungthuam village and one Bawrai village, all in Mamit District. The repatriated families were also given INR 5,000 each as repatriation compensation. So far, 31 Bru families from Tripura have returned to Mizoram since August despite the Mizoram Bru Displaced Peoples’ Coordination Committee (MBDPCC) refusing to budge unless the Centre accepted its seven-points charter of demand. Initially, three families returned to Mizoram in August followed by 17 families on September 19 and 11 families on September 26. Additionally, Mizoram Bru Displaced Peoples Coordination Committee (MBDPCC) has remained adamant that the Bru families will not return to Mizoram unless the Centre fulfils their charter of demands, reports The Telegraph.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)’s Malkangiri-Koraput-Visakhapatnam (MKV) Border Division, on September 26, issued a letter to the media terming the Gurupriya Bridge, inaugurated nearly two months ago in the cutoff region in Malkangiri District of Odisha, as ‘anti-development’. The Maoists in the letter stated that the bridge is not meant for development of the area, rather it is meant for destruction of tribals. The State Government has constructed the bridge to loot the natural resources like bauxite from the area, the Maoists alleged in the letter. Maoists further alleged, to generate surplus electricity from the Balimela reservoir, the Energy Department authorities have decided to store more than the required quantity of water in the dam. As a result, acres of land of seven panchayats in the area have been waterlogged and thousands of farmers have suffered crop loss. In the letter, the Maoists demanded adequate compensation for those farmers whose crops have been damaged following the rise in the water level.

Government of India (GoI) Centre has held meetings to discuss if Khango Konyak, former ‘chairman’ of National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) entry into India, reports Northeast Today on September 27. He had taken over as chairman of the NSCN-K after the banned group’s leader S.S. Khaplang died in June 2017 in a Yangon hospital in Myanmar. A senior official stated that Konyak, is somewhere along the Myanmar border waiting to hear from the Indian authorities. “A meeting was held to discuss whether Konyak should be allowed to come to India as he was associated with a banned group. We have to see if he can be of any use to the authorities in terms of disintegrating the NSCN-K’’. Official also added that Konyak claims he has a large number of followers in NSCN-K who are ready to desert the outfit and follow him. As per our information, he only has seven members with him. A realistic call will have to be taken on his return’’. Confirming this, Nagaland’s Deputy Chief Minister Y. Patton stated that that they had sent messengers to speak to Konyak. He stated that We are trying to bring him back to Nagaland…The problem is he has not made up his mind whether to remain with NSCN-K or come back and join the ceasefire. We have appealed to NSCN-K to also join the ceasefire. Let us wait and see…we are on the job’. On August 16, a statement issued by the NSCN-K ‘headquarters’ in Myanmar’s Sagaing region — adjoining Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh — said it had “unanimously impeached” its ‘chairman’ for violating “party discipline.”

Terror groups backed by Pakistan’s army were setting up eight new launch pads along the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) including those in Lipa Valley, one of the two strategic locations which was destroyed by the Indian Army during its surgical strikes in September 2016, reports The Times of India on September 27. Approximately 250 terrorists are waiting to infiltrate into Jammu and Kashmir from 27 launch pads in PoK, top intelligence sources said. Before Burhan Wani was killed (July 2016), there were only 14 functional launch pads in PoK with just 160 terrorists camping there. But soon after Wani’s elimination, an immediate rise in terror training activity was noted across the LoC. From just 160 terrorists, their number went up to around 190 to 230 terrorists with an addition of five more terror camps, making it 19, sources said. Eight more have been added since Imran Khan's election as Prime Minister of Pakistan. Of the 27 terror launch pads which are operational, Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) is concentrated in Lipa, Chakothi, Bararkot, Shardi, Jura and Bararkot areas while Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM)’s camps are set up in the Forward Kahuta area of PoK. Sources said that Pakistan has also re-established the launch pad at Lipa Valley, one of the two strategic locations where India had conducted a surgical strike in September 2016. However, the launch pad opposite the other surgical strike location, Bimbhar Gali, has not resurfaced. "The strength at Hajipur and Forward Kahuta is now negligible," said a senior intelligence officer. The number of Lashkar-e-Toiba members who are preparing to enter India at Lipa, Chananian, Mandaukali and Naukot now stands at 25-30, according to details accessed by The Times of India. These camps stand right opposite India's Nowgam sector, which is between Uri and Kupwara. "Approximately 250 terrorists are waiting to infiltrate into India. The geographical importance of these infiltration points is the breathing time needed by these militants and the support from over ground workers in Handwara and Hafrooda forest cover. From there, their intent is to move to South Kashmir," said an intelligence officer. Intelligence sleuths said that the recent surge in terror activities in Gurez, Jajarkotli, Sopore, and Bandipora in Kashmir is meant to destabilise the state ahead of panchayat elections and may escalate the tension between the two countries. Security forces are now planning to maintain a strong anti-infiltration posture along the LoC, an official source said.

Two Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militants, identified as Sheeraz Ahmad Bhat resident of Kralwari Chadoora and Irfan Ahmad Dar resident of Kakapora Pulwama were killed in an encounter at Panzan area of Chadoora in Budgam District on September 27, reports Daily Excelsior. One Army personnel was also injured in the encounter. Security Forces (SFs) on September 27 morning cordoned off Panzan village after inputs about presence of two militants in the village. The militants were hiding in the Masjid when they engaged by SFs in the gunfight. One of the militants, Irfan Ahmad Dar was working as Special Police Officer (SPO) and had deserted a couple of months ago. Police said that the encounter broke out after the militants fired upon a search party from a Masjid of the village. “The local Auqaf Committee was engaged to convince the militants to come out. Forces also appealed them to come out, but, the militants refused the offer and consequently the operation had to be carried out in a deliberate manner keeping intact the sanctity of the Masjid,” Police said.

Two years after the ‘surgical strikes’, firing from across the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan has risen four times while infiltration by terrorists continues unabated, reports The Tribune on September 27. A positive development is that the number of militants getting killed at the LoC has risen, the report said. On September 29, 2016, the Indian Army hit at multiple terror camps inside Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and destroyed terror launch pads. To mark two years of the ‘surgical strikes’, the Government has planned ‘Parakram Parv’ celebrations at 53 locations across 51 cities. Since the ‘surgical strikes’, the LoC and the International Border (IB) that divide Jammu and Kashmir with Pakistan have been “peaceful” and “quiet” only in sporadic bursts. Army Chief General Bipin Rawat on September 26 said “the strikes were a message that we will not hesitate to cross (the LoC). Despite that (strikes), infiltration continues and violence is being fanned in the Valley”. Immediately after the strikes, India-Pakistan ties, expectedly, were on a downward spiral marked with frequent exchanges of fire, prompting assessments of it being “the most tense” period since the November 2003 ceasefire along the border. However, counting the number of ceasefire violations cannot be a benchmark to assess the level or intensity of firing from across. Even one bullet fired is a violation and a mortar, that travels up to 10 kilometers, is also counted as same. A senior officer said modern surveillance gadgets such as night vision and thermal imagers made it difficult to physically reach an enemy post and firing, therefore, remained the most viable military reply.

Khangpo Konyak led National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) has asserted that it was “seriously considering” the appeal for peace and political dialogue with Government of India (GoI), reports Nagaland Post on September 28. NSCN (K) through its ‘ministry of information and publicity’ (MIP) kilonser (minister) Isak Sumi appealed to the Naga people to extend cooperation so that “our struggle will be fruitful and in reciprocity to the desires and aspirations of the Naga people.” According to Isak Sumi, Khango Konyak remained the legitimate ‘chairman’ and ‘president’ of NSCN/GPRN despite the “failed coup attempts by handful of kilonsers, deputy kilonsers and middle ranking ‘Naga Army officers’” all belonging to Pangmi tribe. NSCN-K alleged that the “renegades” at the instigation of Meitei underground groups and United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) without acquiring even a quarter of the quorum arbitrarily imposed the impeachment. Nagaland Post further adds that Isak Sumi also stated that the coup was executed to reap the benefit of National Cease Fire Agreement (NCA) in Myanmar. Sumi claimed that the NSCN (K) led by Khango has the backing of more than 500 members “and many more readying to join hands.” As per the statement, it includes almost all high ranking functionaries from the group’s civil and military rank and file, who have reaffirmed their loyalty to Khango’s leadership.

Rejecting a plea for release of five activists held in connection with the Koregaon-Bhima violence case for alleged Naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] links, the Supreme Court (SC), on September 28, refused to order a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into their arrest, saying it was not a case of “more dissenting views or difference in political ideology”, reports The Pioneer. The SC ruled the accused will remain in house arrest for four more weeks during which they are at liberty to avail legal remedies in appropriate court which can consider the case on merits. Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justice AM Khanwilkar said in their majority verdict, “We are of considered opinion that it is not a case of arrest because of mere dissenting views expressed or difference in the political ideology of the named accused, but concerning their link with the members of the banned organisation and its activities.” Refusing to appoint an SIT to probe the arrests, the SC held that the “accused cannot ask for changing the investigating agency or to do investigation in a particular manner including for court-monitored probe.”

The panchayat polls in Jammu and Kashmir will be held as per schedule irrespective of the threats from terror outfits and despite political parties calling for boycott, senior officials of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) said on September 28, reports The Week. The UMHA's stance has come at a time when the State is under Governor's rule and law and order is the responsibility of the Union Government. Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on September 28 said the local body elections will have historical significance as it will re-establish grassroots level democracy in the State. Sources in the UMHA said there is a momentum that has been built up and people are filing nominations regardless of the boycott calls and security threats coming from various terrorist organisations. At least 400 companies (4,000 personnel) of central paramilitary forces will be deployed in the State during the polls, in addition to the security forces already deployed in Jammu and Kashmir. While the urban local body elections are being held for the first time after 2005, the panchayat elections were last held in 2011. Provision of direct elections for sarpanches of the panchayats has also been restored this time to ensure accountability. “The administration will provide the best possible security to the state for the smooth conduct of the polls,'' said a senior UMHA official. The panchayat polls will be held in nine phases, starting November 17.

"There are about 250 terrorists in 27 launch pads across the LoC [Line of Control]. There is neither a dip nor a change in policy on terrorism in Pakistan,'' said Brigadier YS Ahlawat, commander of a Brigade at the LoC, reports India Today on September 29. The Army has adopted a robust posture along the LoC tracking the movement of terrorists and even Pakistan Army regulars close to the LoC. As the soldiers spot some suspicious movement across the LoC, they open fire. "We are taking no chances. In this high altitude sector the moment there is any suspicious movement close to the fence (multi-tiered anti-infiltration obstacle system) at night the soldiers open speculative fire,'' a young army captain, leading the team said. The army is apprehensive about heightened activity seen on the multiple surveillance devices that keep a hawk eye on launch pads in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). "Pakistan will try to disrupt the panchayat and urban body elections in Jammu and Kashmir. It does not want democracy to be strengthened at the grassroot level in the state. But we are alert and will not let Pakistan succeed,'' Brigadier Ahlawat said. The intelligence inputs reveal that a group of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorists will try to infiltrate into North Kashmir from their launch pads.

In the recent times, Indian security agencies have noticed that Chinese agencies are keeping a close watch on the dialogue and there is apprehension that efforts could be made, reports Assam Tribune on September 29. Highly placed sources in the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) stated that of late the Chinese agencies have been trying to influence “some groups” of the Northeast, including the rebel outfits, to derail the peace process in Nagaland. For years, the Chinese agencies have been directly or indirectly helping out the rebel groups of the Northeast as the neighbouring country does not want permanent peace in the region, sources added. The source stated that ‘China knows very well that if permanent peace is restored in Nagaland with an amicable solution of the Naga political problem, militancy in the region would receive a severe setback. Under the circumstances, we have proof of Chinese agencies keeping a close watch on the process of talks and there are reasons to believe that efforts would be made to sabotage the process’. On the progress of the peace talks, sources said that the government is talking to both the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) and Naga National Political Groups, an umbrella body of six rebel groups separately and finally, only one accord would be signed. So far, the NSCN-Khaplang (NSCN-K) has not expressed its desire to join the peace process and the government would not wait for a long time for the outfit to come forward for talks. Sources revealed that most of the major issues have been sorted out during the talks with the rebel outfits, but the final date for signing of the accord has not been finalized. When pointed out that some Naga outfits are still issuing statements demanding integration of the Naga-inhabited areas and even sovereignty, sources said, “the government has made it clear that integration of the Naga areas would not be possible. The government had ruled out separation from the country long back. However, in a democratic country, any organization is free to raise any political demand.” UMHA official also added that all the stakeholders would have to be taken on board before signing of an accord with the Naga outfits. Though Assam would not be affected in any way, there is a proposal for creation of autonomous councils in Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh, and for that the clearance from the respective state governments and the people at large would be required. Additionally, GoI may agree to create two autonomous councils in the frontier state of Arunachal Pradesh and one in Manipur in the process of final settlement of the ongoing Naga talks, which is in the advance stage but facing frequent intervention of China, reports Northeast Today on September 30. Informing that Centre has started the process of taking all stakeholders including non-Nagas on boards, security sources GoI has agreed to create two autonomous councils in Arunachal Pradesh— one for Nagas living in Tirap and Changlang Districts and another for Buddhist in Tawang simultaneously. About the recent remarks of Naga groups on integration of Naga dominated areas of Northeast, security sources clarified that they have agreed for solution to the Naga issues but it doesn’t imply that Naga group will not pursue their political demands. “Even after the final settlement and signing of the peace accord, Naga group may continue to fight for their political rights. Like any other Indian, they also have constitutional right to pursue their demand at the political level.

A civilian chopper of Pakistan carrying self-styled Prime Minister of Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) Raja Farooq Haider violated air space and intruded into the Indian territory in forward area of Gulpur along the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch District on September 30 afternoon and was immediately engaged with small arms firing by three forward posts but it managed to return as it was flying high, reports Daily Excelsior. Sources said that a white-colour civilian chopper intruded inside the Indian territory on the LoC at around 12.10 pm and kept flying over the Indian airspace for about couple of minutes before returning to PoK side and reportedly landing later at Kahuta. Though Pakistan has claimed that the civilian chopper inadvertently forayed into the Indian territory and violated airspace, sources didn’t rule out Pakistan’s mischief behind the airspace violation as on earlier occasions also, Pakistan has resorted to such acts to take photographs of forward locations for sending armed infiltrators but, all the times, Indian Army has thwarted Pakistani plans and forced their choppers to immediately retreat to their territory. Sources confirmed that the Indian Air Force and Army were fully prepared at the LoC but the civilian chopper of Pakistan immediately retreated to their territory. Incidentally, the shots fired at the chopper didn’t hit as it was flying high.

Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) criticised United Democratic Party (UDP) for supporting NPP leader Conrad K Sangma as Chief Minister (CM), reports Northeast Today on September 30. HNLC ‘press secretary’ Saiñkupar Nongtraw in a release stated ‘It is a matter of surprise instead of promoting our own people for the Chief Minister post, this promoting of Conrad K Sangma as the CM is the biggest blunder committed by the UDP’. He also added that ‘We have seen what happened with the Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC), its cadres surrendered with all their arms and it was also disbanded but what was amusing is that Agreed Text for Settlement was signed on September 24, 2014 but it ended only in promises by the government even after four years,” Nongtraw added. The HNLC alleged that the peace pact was just an eye wash and the leaders of the ANVC were misled by both the state as well as the central government.

The outgoing Director General of Police (DGP) R Awasthi said Police should be cautious to prevent regrouping of militants in Garo Hills, reports The Shillong Times on September 30. He stated that that there should not be any laxity anywhere in the context of peace achieved in Garo Hills after the militants were neutralised. Besides surrender of militants and weapons, counter insurgency operations in Garo Hills had brought normalcy in the area. Earlier, there were complaints from the surrendered militants that they were yet to be properly rehabilitated. According to Awasthi, the strategy of militants keeps on changing and they can take shelter in the border areas of the state due to its porous nature.
