Hindustan Times reported that North-east based insurgents are forced to relocate their bases from the Myanmar border. This is a very positive trend for the security of India, because till a few years ago, the trend was that the North-east insurgents used to create havoc in the region and take shelter in the adjacent Myanmar jungles.
What has changed now? The reports says, “Indian Insurgent Groups (IIGs) operating from Myanmar, particularly ULFA-I (United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent), NSCN-K (National Socialist Council of Nagaland – Khaplang), led by its current chairman Yung Aung, and NSCN-IM (National Socialist Council of Nagaland – Isak Muivah). They are trying to relocate their bases near the border due to persistent action by the Myanmar Army over the last few months.”
ULFA-I was relocating its cadres with the help of NSCN-K to safer hideouts.
