ULFA along with Maoists responsible for explosion

Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Thursday said the ULFA along with the Maoists were responsible for the explosion in Tinsukia district in which three children were killed yesterday.

"ULFA's anti-talk faction along with other forces like the Maoists active in area are responsible for the explosion and this was an attempt to make their presence felt before the Republic Day", Gogoi told reporters

He said that the security forces were maintaining a strict vigil and all aspects were being look into and analysed to find out how the explosion was carried out.

"Security forces are on a high alert before the Republic Day and as a result the number of violent incidents before the Day has gone down considerably", he said.

The anti-talk ULFA faction, however, denied its involvement in the incident and condemned the killing of three children.

"The ULFA is in no way associated with the explosion--it neither carried out the explosion nor did its members hand over the explosives to others to carry out. We deplore the killing of innocent children'', according to a press release issued by the outfit today.

The outfit further claimed that this was "a conspiracy by the security forces to malign the ULFA".

Three children were killed and two others, including a child, were injured in an explosion yesterday at Kharjan under Digboi police station.

Actor in Manipur says she was molested, hit on stage | NDTV.com

Chandel, Manipur: A Manipuri actress has been allegedly molested during a stage performance by a Naga militant leader, who kicked her when she raised a protest and fired at her co-actor for trying to stop him.

The assault during a fundraising concert in Manipur's Chandel town on Monday evening boiled over into a street protest in capital Imphal today. Hundreds marched to Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh's office, demanding action against the suspect, self-styled Lt Col. Livingstone Anal.

"He was touching me. I warned him. Then he pulled my hair and threw me on the ground and repeatedly kicked me. He also hit me in the left eye," said the actress, who is aghast that security personnel present in the gathering just stood and watched.

"The Manipur police, Assam Rifles and the Army were there but nobody helped me. They were watching as if it was cinema. When we asked the securitymen why they didn't help, they said they are on ceasefire. Does that mean a woman gets beaten in front of the police and they do nothing?" asked the actress.

Ceasefire rules prohibit armed militant groups from moving around with arms, but across the region they violate this with impunity.

The state Home Minister has promised action, but the militant leader is yet to be arrested.

Blast on railway track in Assam's Kokrajhar district, no injuries reported - Times Of India

KOKRAJHAR: Passengers of the Howrah-Guwahati down Garibrath Express had a providential escape on Sunday when a powerful bomb exploded on the railway tracks minutes after it passed Goabari in lower Assam's Kokrajhar district.

There was no casualty or injury. The bomb suspected to have been planted by the anti-talk faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) exploded at 1.10am two minutes after the train passed the area between Gossaigaon and Fakiragram, police said.

The blast blew away three feet of railway track and left a two feet deep crater at the spot, they said.

Initially, train services were affected for about five hours. But the line was repaired and train services restored in the morning.

As the railway line is a double track one, the trains scheduled to pass over the damaged track were diverted to the adjacent one, railway sources said.

Security forces have launched a search operation to nab the ultras.

GNLA rebels kill two jail officials in Meghalaya - Times Of India

SHILLONG: Rebels of the outlawed Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) killed two jail officials in an attack on a Meghalaya prison late Saturday, police said Sunday.

A group of five to eight heavily armed GNLA rebels stormed the Williamnagar jail in East Garo Hills district and shot dead assistant jailor Neil Warjri and injured warder Sharai Singh Thabah, who died at the district's Tura civil hospital early Sunday.
"None of the prisoners, including jailed GNLA rebels, could manage to escape from the jail," Director General of Prisons Prem Singh, told IANS. "We will investigate if there were security lapses," he added.
East Garo Hills Deputy Commissioner Vijay Mantri said a magisterial inquiry has been ordered into the incident.
A search operations has been launched by a joint team of Meghalaya's Special Weapons and Tactics and Combat Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) commandos to nab the rebels involved in the incident, State Director General of Police Kulbir Krishan said.

Inspector General of Police H. Nongpluh, in-charge of the Western Range, rushed to Williamnagar to take stock of the situation.

"Our men are already on the ground and we are hopeful we'll track them (rebels) down at the earliest," Krishan said.
Preparations are on for the Feb 23 assembly elections in Megalaya.

Although most of the polling stations in the Williamnagar assembly constituency have been classified as "hyper-sensitive", the attack has exposed inadequate security arrangements to thwart attacks by rebels.

On Friday, 10 companies of paramilitary forces were deployed in East Garo Hills district to ensure smooth conduct of the elections, a police official said.

The GNLA, fighting for a separate Garoland in the western region of Meghalaya, has forged close operational links with other northeast-based insurgent groups like the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB).

The GNLA's foot soldiers are deserters from other insurgent groups, mostly from the NDFB, the Achik National Volunteers Council (ANVC) and the Liberation of Achik Elite Force (LAEF).

According to police, the GNLA has reportedly made extortion demands ranging from Rs.5 lakh to Rs.1 crore from legislators, government officials and businessmen in the state.

Meghalaya, especially the Garo Hills region, is said to be a safe haven for various northeast-based militant groups including the NSCN-IM, the ULFA and a faction of the NDFB.

Insurgents continue to create fear psychosis in Assam

Guwahati: Insurgent outfits have continued to trigger blasts in Assam in order to create a fear psychosis among the people.

On February 26, Guwahati Police found an improvised explosive device (IED) outside the city’s Noonmati refinery.

The bomb squad found a box containing a detonator and wires. Police officials and the bomb squad inspected the surrounding areas with the help of sniffer dogs to detect possible explosives.

To avoid any untoward incident, additional forces were also deployed.

In other incident, miscreants hurled an improvised explosive device to target a police patrolling team in Jorhat.

The incident took place in the wee hours on February 26 when a police patrolling team intercepted a suspicious cyclist.

The suspected insurgent took out a grenade from his pocket and hurled it at the police team, injuring a constable and a home guard.

“We chased him after he hurled the bomb at us and fled. During the scuffle, the police could manage to recover an AK-47 series assault rifle magazine along with 28 rounds of live ammunition and a bottle grenade,” said Navin Singh, Additional Superintendent of Police, Jorhat.

India Hindu Militants Crackdown On Evangelical Meetings; Pastors Detained | Worthy Christian News

CHHATTISGARH, INDIA (Worthy News)– Devoted Christians in India's central state of Chhattisgarh urged the government on Sunday, March 3, to provide protection to churches after Hindu militants broke up evangelical meetings and local police detained four pastors.

The incidents began February 21 when a Hindu mob reportedly barged into the home of a believer in the town of Aara in Balrampur District where pastors were having dinner.

Hindu "extremists" accused them of "forceful conversion" and soon alerted police, Christians said. Local police detained Pastors Albis Para, Akshay Kumar, Harendra and Angad Singh for "knowingly joining or continuing in assembly of five or more persons after it was commanded to disperse," Worthy News learned.

Though the pastors were soon released on bail, the incident overshadowed a three-day gathering organized by the Calvary Gospel Mission group.

In a separate incident in Doeri village of Surguja District, evangelical Christians were forced to halt their February 19-21 meeting, attended by some 1,000 people, because "Hindu extremists disturbed them", organizers said.

"FORCEFUL CONVERSION"

The Hindus allegedly accused the gathering's organizers and pastors of "forceful conversion". Church leaders said they decided to end the meeting to avoid further tensions, but did not ask police to intervene.

"As concerned people, we need to write to the chief minister of Chhattisgarh appealing…to safeguard the rights of the minority communities," said Reverend Richard Howell, the general secretary of the Evangelical Fellowship of India (EFI).

The EFI, which represents evangelical Christians across the country, also asks the government "to provide protection to churches against attacks and to take immediate action against the perpetrators of violence,” Howell told Worthy News Sunday, March 3.

He said evangelicals also "request prayers that the church would continue to serve the nation and faithfully share the Gospel of Jesus Christ which brings about reconciliation with God and one another."

MORE ATTACKS

The incidents come amid ongoing reported attacks against devoted Christians in India, a heavily Hindu nation where hardline groups oppose the spread of Christianity.

Mission groups say those becoming Christians also include many Dalits, deemed the lowest caste in India's ancient system of Hinduism, as well as other impoverished people suffering discrimination.

Several states have also tightened laws on 'forced conversions' that critics claim effectively bans evangelism.

Evangelical groups strongly deny their involvement in forced conversions, saying the Bible makes clear that faith in Jesus Christ is based on a free personal choice for Him.

Delhi firm helped Maoists get night-vision gear, NIA probes
Sun Mar 31 2013

The NIA is investigating the reported procurement of night-vision equipment by Maoists from a Delhi-based private firm which was raided earlier this week.

The firm is reported to have forged documents to procure the equipment in bulk from a US-based company, and supplied a large part of the consignment to Maoists in Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand.

The NIA raided the Delhi and Punjab premises of the firm and questioned its owner. Besides seizing some highly-sophisticated equipment, the agency claimed to have seized invoices and import documents as well.

In its FIR, the NIA has accused the private firm of waging war against the country. Besides bringing charges of cheating and forgery, the agency has also invoked Section 18 — which deals with conspiracy in a terror act — of the UAPA against the private firm and unknown others.

The FIR says the firm forged documents to show the US company that the order had been placed by the Jharkhand government. The FIR also names top cadres of the CPI (Maoist).

Each piece of the night-vision equipment, which can be used to see up to a distance of four kilometres, is estimated to cost nearly Rs 20 lakh.

While the NIA is yet to establish the money trail, it has sought bank account details of the firm and its owner. Officials believe the Maoists may have paid for the equipment using the hawala route.

In a related development, the NIA is also probing the seizure of arms and explosives by the Bihar police in Aurangabad in March last year. The case was recently transferred to the NIA. Besides arms and ammunition, the Bihar police had also seized 17 wireless handsets and 100 police caps.
