Agartala: Terrorist
outfits of the northeastern region have shifted their bases to
neighbouring Myanmar following crackdown by the Bangladesh
security forces, an official of the para-military Assam Rifles
said Saturday.
“Several terrorist groups of the northeast India have been
shifting their camps to Myanmar after the Bangladesh security
forces continued their crackdown against them,” Inspector General
of Assam Rifles Satish Dua told reporters here.
“All the central and state security forces have been asked by the
union home ministry to maintain a strict vigil about the movement
of the militants in the northeastern region,” he added.
Dua, who reached here Friday, met Tripura Chief Minister Manik
Sarkar and top officials of the central and state security forces
to discuss strategies to curb militancy in the state.
He said that Tripura has successfully tamed the 45-year-old
phenomenon of secessionist terrorism.
“Separatist outfits have been trying to strengthen their groups in
Tripura. They are now trying to be pro-active ahead of the next
year’s assembly polls,” he said.
“The security forces, including the central forces, are also
getting ready to retaliate in a befitting way,” he added.
Tripura’s Director General of Police Sanjay Sinha said that the
separatist outfits have been trying to strengthen their factions
in Tripura ahead of the assembly polls early next year but
security forces are ready to tackle them.
Tripura’s two militant secessionist outfits - NLFT (National
Liberation Front of Tripura) and the ATTF (All Tripura Tiger
Force), both banned by the Indian authorities - have set up bases
in Bangladesh along with the outher outfits of the northeast
region, and receive support from other separatist outfits of the
northeast.
According to an official document, currently the number of NLFT
cadres is 150 to 155, and the ATTF has 10 to 12 guerillas.
