The Shillong Times reports on January 20 that the State’s Chief Secretary, WMS Pariat, on January 19, asserted that law and order situation in the trouble-torn Garo Hills has improved in recent times. “There is a perceptible improvement in the law and order situation in Garo Hills in recent times,” Pariat told reporters, adding that peace seems to be prevailing in the region with no major incident being reported in the last few months. It is noteworthy that the State Government and the Central Government had recently signed the draft peace agreement with the militant group Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC), which was later approved by the State Cabinet. On the issue of signing the final agreement with the ANVC, the Chief Secretary said that the Central Government would come out with the final agreement. The Chief Secretary stated that the agreement is applicable to the breakaway faction of ANVC (ANVC-B) and they need to surrender their arms and weapons since the draft agreement has already been signed. Asked about the Government’s stand on Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA), the Chief Secretary indicated that the Government would welcome any outfit which wants to come forward for discussion. On the reports that the Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) is trying to regroup in Khasi and Jaintia Hills, Pariat said, “We will ensure that no re-grouping takes place.”

Jailed GNLA’s chief, Champion R. Sangma has decided to contest the February 23 assembly elections in Meghalaya, a legal official said on January 20, reports The Shillong Times. “He (Sangma) has already made up his mind to contest the upcoming Meghalaya assembly elections either from inside or outside the jail,” Sangma’s legal Counsel Sujit Dey said. “Sangma will contest as an independent candidate, but he is yet to choose the assembly constituency from which he would contest,” Dey said. On January 11, the Shillong Bench of the Gauhati High Court granted bail to Sangma after it found that no charge sheet was filed against him. Sangma was arrested July 30, 2012 near the India-Bangladesh border in Meghalaya. He was wanted for masterminding several crimes, including killings and extortion in insurgency-ravaged Garo Hills in western Meghalaya, and has been booked under various sections of the Indian Penal Code for waging war against the Indian state and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

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.

Meghalaya Governor RS Mooshahary on January 26 expressed grave concern over the growing influence of the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) in Garo Hills and West Khasi Hills Districts, reports The Shillong Times. Mooshahary said that the law and order situation in the State has been stable and the internal security scenario is by and large satisfactory. Governor also appealed the ‘disgruntled elements’ to seek peaceful resolution of their demands through established democratic processes. The Governor observed that activities of the Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) have seen a decline in the past few years due to constant pressure mounted by the State Police. He also stated that the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) must be replaced with an amended Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) so that rights of both Security Forces and civilians are protected, adds The Sangai Express. Governor, Mooshahary further said that prolonged use of the AFSPA has alienated the civil society.

The Shillong Times reports that jailed Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) ‘chief’ Champion Sangma on January 29 was booked under Meghalaya Prevention of Detention Act (MPDA) by the East Garo Hills District administration. An official source said that the GNLA chief was booked under MPDA as per various provisions of law which include waging war against the country and also for heading a banned organization. The source added that the detention under MPDA was also due to the various criminal offences pending in the East Garo Hills District against the GNLA leader. The MPDA detention came at a time when the court of the chief judicial magistrate is set to hear on January 30 (today) a bail application of the GNLA leader in connection with his arrest in Pynursla in East Khasi Hills.

The Shillong Times reports that suspected militants belonging to the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) targeted a Government revenue collection point belonging to the Taxation-Directorate of Mineral Resources (DMR) lobbing a hand grenade that failed to explode during the late evening hours of January 31 in North Garo Hills District. Preliminary reports indicate that the militants lobbed a hand grenade outside the premises of the DMR office in Dainadubi in North Garo Hills shortly after 6:30 pm but the bomb failed to explode. It is strongly suspected that the GNLA may have lobbed the grenade following non-compliance to their extortion demands by the department staff posted in the area. In 2012, suspected Liberation of Achik Elite Force (LAEF) militants had also attacked the same office compound by lobbing a grenade which failed to explode. The LAEF had demanded a large sum of money from the staff manning the check point.
