Security agencies red flag subversive activities of NE insurgent groups on Indo-Mynmar border

By Amresh Srivastava
New Delhi, Oct 8 (UNI) Indian security agencies have warned the Government about the subversive activities of the north-eastern insurgent groups who are re-consolidating its strength on the Indo-Mynmar border by hiring local youth in their outfits and planning attack on the Indian security forces in the region.
According to a report sent to the Government, these agencies have said that the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) led by Yung Aung and other splinter groups including Meitei have been strengthening its position inside Myanmar areas, bordering with India, are planning to attack security forces at vulnerable points in the North East region.
This report gains significance as Foreign Secretary Harsh Shringla and Army Chief General Manoj Mukund Naravane were recently on a two day visit to Mynmar and it is understood that during the talks with Mynmar counterparts, this issue was discussed in detail.
A source in the security set up said that both nations are mulling for a effective joint operations against these insurgents groups operating in the North East regions bordering with Myanmar.
The report also indicated the growing activities of insurgents groups in the past few months is posing a major threat to the ongoing Naga Peace talk and with an intention to derail the peace process. They have already carried out attacks on security forces in the last few months.
The insurgents' groups active across northeastern States and at the Indo-Myanmar border are taking advantage of the large scale of unemployment caused by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and they are conspiring to recruit more youth into their outfits, a source in the security establishment said.
On last Sunday, there was an attack on the Assam Rifle unit in the Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh, in which a jawan was martyred while another was badly injured in the ambush attack. Police suspect that around 30 insurgents of Paresh Baruah faction of United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA-Independent) and the Yung Aung faction of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K) were behind this ambush.
Recently in May this year, the Myanmar military has handed over a group of 22 insurgents to the India authorities, hiding in the forest of Mynmar and were involved in many subversive activities in Assam and adjoining areas on the Indo-Myanmar border.
“These insurgents were wanted in Manipur and Assam for a long time and Indian agencies had airlifted them after their arrest in Mynmar and the first time the Myanmar Government acted swiftly on behest of Indian Government.
Among the 22 deported insurgents by the Myanmar government, 12 are linked with United National Liberation Front (UNLF), People's Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak PREPAK (Pro), Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL) and People Liberation Army (PLA) of Manipur while the remaining 10 are associated with Assam groups such as National Democratic Fund of Bodoland (S) and Kamtapur Liberation Organisation.
The Tatmadaw (Myanmar Army) have been regularly conducted counter insurgency operations against the Indian insurgents groups based at the Naga self-administered zone in Sagaing region of Myanmar and they have destroyed a number of insurgent groups camps, seized arms and ammunition, and arrested several cadres of the northeaster insurgent outfit and their splinter groups.
