The suspected United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) militants shot dead a 13-year-old nephew of a surrendered ULFA (SULFA) cadre, apparently in a case of mistaken identity, in the Balichapori village under Garmurh Police station of Majuli in the Jorhat District in the night of November 5, according to Telegraph. The Police also recovered two empty cartridges of AK-47 rifles from the incident site. Jintu Bora, a Class VIII student of Kathimotia High School, was shot dead when he and his uncle, Dipak Bora, a surrendered ULFA cadre, were about to enter their house at Balichapori village under around 11pm (IST) after returning from Ras festivities. Sources said Dipak was the target of the ULFA militants as he was a Police informer and had played a crucial role in the killing of ULFA militant Amrit Dutta, a key accused in the Sanjoy Ghose murder case. Dutta was killed in an encounter with Security Forces (SFs) in Majuli early 2009. Dipak had joined ULFA in 1995 and was a cadre of the Bravo Company of 28th Battalion and later surrendered in 2007.

Officials engaged in the construction of the 4MW Hayen hydel project in Chirang District stopped work and left the area after unidentified militants of the Ranjan Daimary faction of the NDFB served an extortion demand of 3% of the total project cost of INR 33 Million, reports Telegraph. The project manager, who is from outside Assam, and some officials have already left the project site out of fear and others are reluctant to visit the site. The NDFB demand comes in the wake of the abduction of P. Krishna Rao, the project manager of Gayatri-East Coast Insulation, who is suspected to have been abducted by the NDFB on October 16, 2008. Sources said the demand was made to a senior official of the project over phone.

A group of newly trained United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) militants have reportedly been asked to enter Assam and launch attacks to avenge the arrest of the outfit’s leaders Chitrabon Hazarika and Sasha Choudhury, intelligence sources have revealed, triggering a security alert along the India-Myanmar border, reports Telegraph. A source said radio intercepts over the last few days suggested that a group comprising about 25 cadres from the 28th battalion had been asked to break up into smaller units to enter Assam. “We believe there could be strikes in retaliation to the arrest of Choudhury and Hazarika to show ULFA is as strong as ever,” a source in the Army said. The 28th battalion had recruited about 50-60 cadres in 2008, soon after the Alpha and the Charlie companies of the battalion came over-ground by declaring a unilateral cease-fire. “These cadres have completed training in Myanmar and Nagaland’s Mon District and are ready for battle,” the unnamed official said.

Five injured IRB personnel were identified as Kamrul Islam Barbhuiyan, Vijay Kumar Roy, Iqbal Ahmed Tapadhar, Prafulla Dey and Babul Hussain Barbhuiyan. They were shifted to the Silchar Medical College and Hospital (SMCH) at 8 am November 14 (today) by a Police team that rushed to the spot after receiving a wireless message from the injured personnel. An SMCH source said the condition of Kamrul Islam is critical. A bullet was removed from his head. The militants took away two 9 mm carbines, two 762 LMGs, one mortar, six .9mm-calibre magazines, 12 high explosive bombs, six smoke bombs, six hand grenades, 5,445 cartridges, 42 SLR magazines, 20 SLRs and one automatic pistol. The militants also damaged wireless sets and snatched away six mobile phone sets, money and uniform. A top-ranking Police official said local villagers might have joined the militants. He suspected that it was the handiwork of the Hmar People’s Democratic Convention (HPDC), a Hmar militant outfit active in Manipur, the adjacent border area to Cachar.

The Hmar People's Convention- Democracy (HPC-D) denied its involvement in the recent raid on an India Reserve Battalion outpost in Cachar on November 13 and blamed the Kuki National Council (Military Council), a militant outfit in Manipur, for the attack, reports Telegraph. The denial by the HPC (D) came when its ‘publicity secretary’ J.C. Hmar sent an email to a section of the media in which the outfit expressed its “sorrow and anguish” over injuries sustained by the four IRB troopers. The Cachar District Police, however, continue to hold the HPC-D responsible for the attack. They pointed out that the KNC (Military Council) faction did not have much presence along the border Cachar shares with Manipur. According to them, there has been no record of depredations by this Kuki outfit in areas opposite Cachar and are under Manipur.

Suspected United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) militants blew up a petrol-laden train at Changpool in the Golaghat District in the night of November 17, according to Sentinel. The train was bound for the State of Uttar Pradesh from the Numaligarh Refinery Ltd (NRL). A railway spokesperson said that the train with 48 wagons of high-speed diesel and petrol from the NRL caught fire near Changpool. At least 20 wagons went up in flames and a loss of INR 100 million has been estimated, officials said. “We initially thought that the fire broke out after the train jumped the rails. But now we believe that it was because of a powerful explosion on the rail track. We have managed to recover wires and other materials used in triggering blasts from the site,” a senior Assam Police official said. At least 10 more wagons were derailed and the petroleum product spilled on to the ground. The area is a stronghold of both the ULFA and All Adivasi National Liberation Army (AANLA).

Meanwhile, several cadres of the Black Widow (BW) outfit are reported to have fled from their designated camps in North Cachar Hills District along with weapons over the past three days. Confirming the desertion, the ‘chairman’ of pro-talks faction of the Dima Halim Daogah (DHD), Dilip Nunisa, blamed it on the cadres’ frustration over the slow progress of talks with the Government. Nunisa said over phone from Haflong that the first desertion by 11 unarmed cadres was from a camp in Umrangsu, an industrial town 140 kilometres from Haflong in North Cachar Hills District, on November 15. Another group of four cadres fled from the Deogbra camp, taking at least four AK-47 assault rifles with them in the night of November 18. All the deserters are from lower ranks, Nunisa said. Police in Haflong suspect that the deserters could join the newly formed James faction of the BW which was not part of the mass surrender by the BW outfit on October 2, 2009. The James faction is said to comprise 20-25 cadres. The names of the fugitives are yet to be identified.

Further, the ULFA has set up bases in China and other foreign countries with the help of money extorted in the State, two senior ULFA leaders, Chitrabon Hazarika and Sashadhar Choudhury, have told Police during interrogations, reports Sentinel. ULFA “foreign secretary” Sasha Choudhury and “finance secretary” Chitraban Hazarika, now in Police remand since November 6, 2009, told interrogators that apart from Bangladesh they have bases in China and other foreign countries. “Millions of rupees have been extorted from Assam and transferred to ULFA leaders in Bangladesh, China and other countries where they have established hideouts,” the Special Operations Unit (SOU) of Assam Police quoted the two leaders as confessing. Several foreign agencies and NGOs provided logistic assistance to the ULFA leaders in foreign countries. The interrogation report was submitted to the Chief Judicial Magistrate’s court in Guwahati. In addition, Sashadhar Choudhury and Chitrabon Hazarika also confessed that their 'commander-in-chief' Paresh Baruah is not only procuring arms from Chinese manufacturers but also selling them to militant outfits such as National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT), All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF) and Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist). This revelation by two top ULFA leaders has corroborated what Union home secretary G.K. Pillai had hinted about two weeks ago on November 8, 2008 in New Delhi. Pillai said that "Chinese are big smugglers... suppliers of small arms. I am sure that the CPI-Maoist also gets them."

A cadre of the pro-talks faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), identified as Doren Daimary alias Mwkthanj (30), was shot dead by unidentified militants at Jolaishree Alokjhar under Kachugaon Police Station in Kokrajhar District around 10.30 PM (IST) on November 23, according to Telegraph. The victim stayed in the outfit’s designated camp in Serfanguri and was visiting the area, 30km from the camp, along with a companion when he was shot dead by the unidentified militants. Daimary had reportedly taken permission to go out of the camp. The pro-talks NDFB accused the Bodo Liberation Tigers (BLT) for the incident and warned of retaliation if their cadres are targeted like this. “An FIR was filed against Monoj Narzary alias Pakra of Nandipur at Kachugaon Police Station,” said M. Mwthang, the ‘commander’ of the Serfanguri designated camp. “We will be forced to retaliate and give a befitting reply if such attacks continue,” said the outfit’s ‘deputy army chief’ B. Hajwma Raja. The BLT, however, denied the charge saying their cadres were not involved in the incident. The pro-talks NDFB has called a 12-hour Bodo Territorial Council bandh (general shutdown) on November 24 (today) in protest against the killing.

The SF personnel trapped a group of Kuki militants, who had looted the Chekarcham border outpost 11 days ago, in the dense forests of Cachar District along the Assam-Manipur boundary, reports Telegraph. Police, with the Army and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), have sealed all the entry and exit routes along Mastul and Bhuban hills in Cachar District to neutralise the rebels and recover the weapons. The coordinated step was taken following intelligence reports that the militants of the nascent United Tribal Revolutionary Army (UTRA), a 35-cadre strong Kuki tribal group active in Manipur, are yet to find their way out of Cachar’s southeastern jungles into the adjacent State. The militants still have with them a cache of the arms and ammunitions they had looted from the 15th Indian Reserve Battalion (IRB) border outpost at Chekarcham on November 13, 2009. The rebels had taken away at least 20 SLRs, three carbines, two light machine guns, a revolver and a huge pile of live ammunition.

The ULFA ‘chairman’ Arabinda Rajkhowa said the Minister’s statement was a reflection of the Government’s "colonial" mindset. He mentioned, "Our stand is clear. We will not fall at India’s feet just for the sake of talks." "The minister’s comments only confirm the fact that India does not have the courage to sit across the table on the issue of sovereignty," Rajkhowa said, adding that the outfit was keen on a political settlement with Delhi but not at the cost of its own pride and dignity. Further, a senior member of the People’s Consultative Group (PCG), Mukul Mahanta, said that the given stand of both the Centre and ULFA, any hope of a "negotiated" settlement had all but evaporated.

The Union Home minister P. Chidambaram on November 24 stated in Parliament that the Government was not going to relent in its operations against the ULFA, reports Telegraph. He said, "Owing to the counter-insurgency operations, ULFA has come under tremendous pressure. Its leadership is in disarray. Key ULFA leaders are in prison. Recently, two ULFA leaders surrendered to the Indian SFs. Three ULFA leaders are believed to be abroad and there are reports of serious differences among them. Against this background, it is our assessment that the recent incidents manifest the desperation of the banned ULFA. The State Government and the SFs are determined to intensify the counter-insurgency operations against ULFA and Ranjan Daimary fraction of National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB)."

Police launched a massive search to recover five kilogrammes of RDX (Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine) which was kept in the house of Krishna Rajbongshi at Goroimari Panigaon in Nalbari District, who had allegedly planted one of the bicycle bombs in Nalbari on November 22. Krishna, who was arrested in the night of November 25, also confessed before Police that there were three more bicycles stuffed with explosives and ready to be detonated. A Police Officer said Krishna did not know about the location of the cycles. “We are trying to find out,” he said, adding that Krishna was still being interrogated. Meanwhile, a college lecturer Narayan Thakuria and ULFA linkman Kumud Thakuria were also arrested for their suspected involvement in the twin blasts. “We only found the pit but the explosives which were in it were missing. Probably ULFA removed the RDX after they heard of Krishna’s arrest,” the Police Officer said. “Five kilogrammes of RDX can have a devastating impact depending on where and how the explosives are placed,” he said

The Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram on November 25 told a delegation of the People’s Committee for Peace Initiatives in Assam (PCPIA) that the Government is ready for talks with the ULFA provided the outfit abjures violence. Chidambaram also told the delegation that the PCPIA should try to persuade the ULFA to come for talks with the Government. The delegation was accompanied by a Parliamentarian belonging to the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) party, Biren Baishya. The delegation that is in Delhi to lobby for resumption of the dialogue with ULFA has so far met Union Minister of State in Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) Prithviraj Chavan on November 25 to submit a memorandum to restart the peace process stalled since last couple of years. However, the possibility of the Centre heeding to their demands appears remote, with Union Home Minister P Chidambaram expressing his skepticism on the ground that the remaining top leaders are all based abroad and not keen for negotiations. The Union Ministry of Home Affairs is of the opinion that ULFA, currently under pressure because of the crackdown in Bangladesh and arrest of two top leaders, may be at its old game of seeking to buy time by throwing the bait of peace talks.

The Black Widow (BW) challenged the ban imposed on it by the Union Government before a specially designated Unlawful Activities Prevention (UAP) Tribunal. Replying to a showcause notice issued by the Unlawful Activities Prevention Tribunal, the ‘chairman’ of the BW, Jewel Gorlosa, through his counsels, pleaded before the tribunal not to confirm the ban imposed on the outfit under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act, 1967. Gorlosa contended that the outfit couldn’t be declared a banned organisation since it had returned to the mainstream with the ceremonial surrender of its cadres on October 2, 2009. Advocates Bijon Mahajan, Arshad Choudhury and Meena Kharkongor appeared on behalf of Gorlosa before the UAP tribunal headed by Justice Kailash Gambhir, a Delhi High Court judge, in Shillong. In his written reply, challenging the legality of the ban, Gorlosa stated that the outfit’s cadres were staying in designated camps, abiding by the ground rules of the ceasefire. The Union Home Ministry had issued a notification declaring the BW an unlawful association on July 9, 2009. The tribunal has fixed December 3 and 4 as the next dates for hearing in New Delhi.

The Government of India is likely to renew its call to Dhaka to flush out the militants of the North East hiding in Bangladesh, when the Home Secretaries of the two countries meet in New Delhi on November 30 (today), reports Assam Tribune. A five-member Bangladesh delegation, headed by Bangladesh Home Secretary Abdus Sobhan Sikder is reaching New Delhi for the talks. The Union Home Secretary, G. K. Pillai, would lead the Indian delegation. A joint statement would be signed on December 2, official sources said. The timing of the Home Secretary level talks, held alternatively in India and Bangladesh comes amidst growing bonhomie between the two countries. The ongoing crackdown on ULFA and other militant outfits has been well received in India. But New Delhi wants Bangladesh to do more and hand over rest of the ULFA and NDFB leadership, who have gone into hiding. Sources said New Delhi is again likely to ask for custody of Anup Chetia, besides freezing of the bank accounts of the ULFA-run companies in Bangladesh. With Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina scheduled to arrive in India in December, the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Government is hopeful of Dhaka further intensifying pressure on the militants.
